The masters were often cruel. Children worked long hours for

very low wages. Many children had health problems and accidents.

They pushed trucks of coal or they opened and closed doors

to let air through tunnels.

A lot of children also worked in cotton factories. When the cotton threads broke, children went into the machines to fix them. This was very dangerous.

Many children worked as chimney sweeps because

they were small and thin.

They climbed up narrow chimneys to clean them.

Street children or orphans usually did this job.
