 * __Dangerous Conditions__**

In the 1880s, The relationship between workers and bosses had changed. Everyone used to know eachother and have conversations but now after so many employees there isn't time and no one really knows their co-workers. Children had worked in the 1990s. About 2 million children under the age of 15 had worked throughout the country. They worked in textile mills, tobacco factories, and garment sweatshops. Also, they worked in coal mines where they picked stones out of coal for 12 hours a day for 6 days a week. Having to work for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week leaves no time for an education so most children were lacking education. Factories were filled with hazardous dust which filled the air of textile mills. Cave-ins and gas explosions happened in the mines, molten metal spilled without warning in steel mills, and some workers had their health destroyed and some others were injured or killed in accidents. In one year, about 195 workers died in the steel mills of Pittsburgh, PA.
