In the early American industrial era, factory owners viewed hiring children as more cost effective and easy to manage. American children worked in large numbers in mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys, and messengers. The conditions were unsafe for kids. They were missing on their education, and they were too young for work for many reasons. Three boys from a hull-house club were injured at one machine because of a lack of a guard. These injuries also lead to death. All this was all in progress of being stopped, and being notified to the public by a woman named Jane Addams. Jane Addams wished to ban factories from child labor and also has suggested an investigation. The use of child labor downgraded very drastically. The decrease seemed to begin from the 1900s -1930s according to the United States Bureau of Census. It was not until the first Law of Illinois when the act of child labor started to get noticed. In this law it stated that “Children under 14 years of age prohibited from being employed in any manufacturing establishment, factory or shop in state." Factory workers had to work in abominable conditions. This most of the time lead to worn out people which forth leads to sloppy work with less effort. For instance bee luggers began work at four o’clock in the morning. This caused the most powerful mean to be worn out in only a few years. All the men who worked with knives in the meatpacking industry would have no nails because they had warn them off pulling hides, each or their knuckles were very swollen. The men who worked in the cooking rooms had germs of tuberculosis where they were and it was newly renewed every year for two years. The horrible working conditions were soon improved by an act of the state. They fixed some conditions by limiting hours of work which would lead to more rest and harder work, effort, no slacking off which all leads to a more efficient process
