We used our econmics points to buy naves so that we could get more wepines and evertime we got more naves we also got are economic points doubled therefore, when we were able to buy more naves and arms. We were able to buy double the amount of naves that we could get the first time.

child labor problems of the 1900s

Hi! I’m Sondra K from, Mr. Salvucci’s. 9th Period. 20th century class.

There was a big problem in the early 1900s with the lack of laws concerning child labor. Because there were no laws to protect the kids, these children were totally taken advantage of by adults in the labor industry. These people got rich from making children work under horrible conditions and barely paid them a salary.

The children had No time for theirselfs!
beacuse there were NO LAWS for Child Labor in the 1900s.

The children never had time for themselves, because they had to work so many hours a week. Therefore the children were not able to do things like kids can do today, like going to school each day monday-friday so they could have an education( so they can be able to read and right ) and also they would be able to go outside and hangout with other kids their age. The children in the 1900s were not able to do any of these things because, they had to work in bewteen 48 – 80 hours a week. Since they were working so many hours a week they barly had time to eat and sleep. The children only got about a total of 88 hours a week for theirselves. 88 hours of free time a week for children is not really anytime. That only gave them some time to eat and go to sleep. Thats about all the time that they get. Thats just not right i’m so glad that they now have laws for child labor. Today they have laws saying how much a kid can work in a day and also that children can not work untill they are about 16.

Florence Kelley tired to fix the problems with child labor in the 1900s.
Florence Kelleys soultion to try and fix the problem with child labor back in the 1900s was:
She investigated and reported on the use with child labor.
“In stores in the West Side” Children working in tobacco industry suffered from nicotine poisoning. Children in painting factories suffered from breathing in toxic aresenic fumes. The children in clothing factories suffered from spinal curvature hunching over sewing machines about 48 hours a week.
kelly had pressed federal goverment to outlaw the law of child labor. Kelly contiunued her battle against child labor after she had lefted the Hull House. She also helped organize consumer boycotts of goods manufactured by children or by workers toiling in unsanitary OR dangerouss conditions. Kelly is part of the (NCL) National Consumer League which most members were like Kelly, they didnt agree with child labor with how children were treated. Were in the middle or upper class women concerned about the promblems such as exploitation of children in factories.
