Abstract

I When the Air Became Important i traces the history of consciousness of disease in the textile mills as work moved from the home into the factories in England and the United States. But by the Depression mill owners moved their plants away from reform-minded Massachusetts to the unorganized South, and later to Southeast Asia where even fewer safeguards are in place. But, as workers struck over the hot, humid, dusty factories with tired workers working ten-, twelve-, and sometimes fourteen-hour days the workplace was as well. [Extracted from the article]
