Life was extremely hard in the early 1900s, especially for those who worked in the mines. young children such as the one above worked full wok days, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. This child from west Virginia was only one of thousands to suffer from the poor conditions within the mines. disfigurement and death was common within all industries during those times, so he was definitely in great danger. Another tragedy for him was that because he worked , so much his chances of getting a formal education wee almost none. Child Labor laws had to b passed to keep these types of situations from occurring.
