Second Report of the Factory Investigating Commission, 1913; Volume 1

This official report, issued by the New York State Factory Investigating Commission in 1913, is a seminal document in the history of American labor and workplace safety. Drawing on extensive field research and expert testimony, the commission's members exposed the shocking conditions faced by workers in factories and sweatshops throughout the state, and made far-reaching recommendations for reform. Despite fierce opposition from business interests, the commission's work paved the way for important labor protections and regulatory measures in the years to come.
