25. Inventors
Thomas Alva Edison-
Thomas Edison (b. Feb. 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio) is the quintessential American inventor. Before he died, he gave us the phonograph, the transmitter for the telephone speaker, an improved light bulb, and key elements of motion-picture apparatus, as well as other bright inventions. He also created the world's first industrial research laboratory. Edison was responsible for 1097 U.S. patents including: phonograph, light bulb, ticker tape, motion picture camera and many others. Often credited with shifting the U.S. to the ease of electric convenience.

26. Alexander Graham Bell-
Alexander Graham Bell born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His education was largely received through numerous experiments in sound and the furthering of his father's work on Visible Speech for the deaf. Bell worked with Thomas Watson on the design and patent of the first practical telephone. In all Bell held 18 patents in his name alone and 12 shared with collaborators. He died in 1922

27. Henry Ford-
Born in 1863, Henry Ford was a prominent American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He didn’t invent the car, but he revolutionized the transportation industry with mass production and the assembly line.

35. Factory work is very different from other types of labor
Factory work is very different from other types of labor. The introduction of the factory system had a profound effect on social relationships and living conditions. In earlier times workers and employees had close relationships. By contrast, the factory owners were considered to have discharged their obligations to employees with the payment of wages; thus, most owners took an impersonal attitude toward those who worked in their factories. This was because no particular strength or skill was required to operate many of the new factory machines.
Factories
Sweatshop – place where workers labor long hours under poor conditions for very low wages.

36. The owners of the early factories often were more interested in hiring a worker cheaply than in any other qualification. Thus they employed many women and children, who could be hired for lower wages than men.
These low-paid employees had to work for as long as 16 hours a day; they were subjected to pressure, and even physical punishment, in an effort to make them speed up production. Since neither the machines nor the methods of work were designed for safety, many fatal and maiming accidents resulted.

37. Children as young as six would work between 12 and 16 hour days, with breaks totaling less than an hour. Children caught sleeping on the job were often beaten.

39. Children were paid only a fraction of what an adult would get, and sometimes factory owners would get away with paying them nothing. Orphans were the ones subject to this slave-like labor. The factory owners justified their absence of payroll by saying that they gave the orphans food, shelter, and clothing, all of which were far below par.

40. Entire families had to work
In order to survive, entire families had to work. A factory worker usually woke up at 4 am in order to be on the factory floor by 5 am. Mornings were often the only time an entire family could be together. The workday for men, women, and children was between 12 and 16 hours per day, and in some cases, particularly in the steel mills, the work week was seven days. If you were lucky, you got Sundays off, but you were expected to work whenever you were needed.

41. Immigrant labor was the driving force behind the Industrial Revolution
Immigrant labor was the driving force behind the Industrial Revolution. Without the efforts and sacrifices of immigrants to this country of every race, religion, color, and creed, the United States could never have become the world power it is today.

42. A turn of the century textile factory
At the turn of the century, there were no labor laws. Working conditions, hours, wages, and days worked were determined by the employer.

43. Child Labor
Children as young as six years old worked hard hours for little or no pay. Children sometimes worked up to 16 hours a day, with a one-hour total break. This was a little bit on the extreme, but it was not common for children who worked in factories to work hours with the same minimal breaks. Not only were these children subject to long hours, but also, they were in horrible conditions. Large, heavy, and dangerous equipment was very common for children to be using or working near. Many accidents occurred injuring or killing children on the job.
