the lease system– Black-and-white uniforms– Chained together– Poor food & housing– No preparation for life after prison

– Strikes could halt work in the factory– AFL: American Federation of Labor
• Georgians didn’t support unions – factories were often in small communities where people knew each other
• Mill towns: factory owner owned the workers’ houses – workers feared losing their homes
![Page 10: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

protect child laborers– Minimum wage– Compulsory school attendance laws– Laws protecting children against work in
dangerous places and using dangerous equipment (for example: mines)

![Page 18: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A typical garment factory in the early 20th Century.
The shirtwaist was a popular garment and was produced at the Triangle Factory.
![Page 19: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fire engines race to the Triangle Building in response to several fire alarms set off when the blaze began.
![Page 20: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hoses did not have sufficient pressure to reach the fire on the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors.
![Page 21: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
NYCFD had new ladder trucks but the ladders were 30’ too short to help the victims. Some leaped from the windows and tried unsuccessfully to catch hold of the ladders as they fell.
![Page 22: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Policemen stand by bodies and watch helplessly as more victims choose to jump rather than to be burned alive. About 150 people died in the fire, which only lasted approximately 20 minutes.
![Page 24: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Huge crowds gathered at the makeshift morgue to attempt to identify the remains of their loved ones.
![Page 30: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

The bodies were propped up in their coffins, lanterns were placed at intervals, and the crowd filed past. Nurses were recruited to turn away the morbidly curious.
![Page 32: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Some victims were so disfigured that they had to be identified by jewelry, shoes, or other personal effects.
![Page 33: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Massive protests led to an investigation of the disaster and indictments for the Triangle’s owners.
![Page 36: Georgia and the American Experience Chapter 10: The Progressive Era Study Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012313/56649e115503460f94afce6b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The factory’s owners, Harris and Blanck, were tried for manslaughter. Despite overwhelming evidence, including a locked door knob from the 8th floor, they only paid a token fine. Within a few weeks they had opened their factory in another building.
