• Told of coal mines where thousands of breaker boys were hired at age 9• Health and Safety Codes

• Many adult workers also labored in difficult conditions• Factories, coal mines, and railroads, were particularly dangerous

• For example in 1911 a terrible fire swept through Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City

• During early 1900’s thousands of people died or were injured on the job but they and their families received little compensation

• Some progressives are favored zoning laws as a method of protecting the public• The Prohibition Movement

• Many believed alcohol was responsible for many problems in American society• Settlement house workers hated the effects of drinking on families• Scarce wages were spent on alcohol and drinking sometimes led to physical abuse and

sickness• Many Christians also opposed drinking

• Some workers believed drinking hurt workers efficiency, while political reformers viewed the saloon as the informal headquarters of the political machines they opposed

• Temperance movement, which advocated the moderation or elimination of alcohol emerged from these concerns

• For most part women led the temperance movement• 1874 group of women formed the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU)
