Machinery took the work} out of the home to the factory in_ England. The cheapest labor was secured, and socwomen and children `were employed in the factories while J the husbands were out of work. The A conditions under which these women i and children lived were in many cases f"wox'se than slavery. Children three, ; four and five years old were employ--'= {ed and punished to keep them awake :-an-d at work. "Legislation was intro- d11ce. by Robert Peel and from time 3 to tinic conditions were improved` by acts of pzfrliainent restricting child labor.
