Child+Work+LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 __** CHILD LABOR LAWS!!! **__
 * An Evil of Society**


 * Children in the factories had harsh conditions that would some times appear as slave labor. Their wages and hours consisted of 12-14 hour days. In these hours they only got a one hour break total. They only got paid a fraction of what the adults got and sometimes nothing at all. They also had horrible work conditions with large and heavy equipment that was dangerous for the children. Many were killed and others injured so many accidents occured. Then the Factory Act of 1833 that limited the work hours of children. Most of the factory owners got away with it becuase they said that they gave the orphans shelter, food, and clothing all of which was not not up to the standards they made it sound like.They were often abused and had harsh punnishments for what they did. Many wanted to end the abuse with the Hull House made by Jane Addams in 1889. They also appointed officals to make sure people carried out the laws made**.
