Child Labor was the most emotional progressive issue. Factories presented a more dangerous and unhealthy working environment than family farms or mines.In his book; Th eBitter Cry of the Children, Muckraker John Spargo tells of coal mines hiring thousands of boys age 9-10 to pick slag out of coal. Spargo also tells of the problems this job caused for the boys' physical health.
