16 Answer Sheet 1. B. promoting business monopolies. 2. D. journalists. 3. B. an initiative. 4. A. servants. 5. C. Florence Kelley. 6. C. unsanitary conditions in the meat-packing industry. 7. B. Theodore Roosevelt. 8. A. Pure Food and Drug Act. 9. D. equality among the races. 10. C. William H. Taft. 11. A C. Colorado 13. A. more progressive 14. D. New Mexico 15. B. Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Michigan. 16. The Midwest and West were generally more progressive because states in those regions tended to grant women full or partial suffrage earlier than Eastern and Southern states. 17. People in whole regions tended to agree on the issue of woman suffrage, as shown by the large blocks of states with similar laws. 18. The messages on the money bags imply that people who profit from the sale of alcohol do so at the expense of families and children. Liquor hurts families while making liquor traffickers rich. 19. Such children would likely not do well in school because they lack proper nutrition. They would probably drop out of school and take jobs as unskilled laborers, continuing the cycle of poverty. 20. Their families are probably very poor, forcing the boys to go to work rather than attend school. The boys work long hours in a dark factory. 21. The best essays will point out that reformers used advertisements and political cartoons (Document 1), reports of conditions among the poor (Document 2), and documentary photographs (Document 3) to influence public opinion. The advertisement uses a cartoon to depict opponents of prohibition in a negative light. The text of the advertisement also implies that only immoral people do not support prohibition. John Spargo's journalism reveals how bad the situation is for the nation's poor, just as Lewis Hine's photographs document the horrible conditions of child labor. Both Spargo and Hine hope that if more citizens are educated about poverty in America, they will be motivated to do something about it. 22. Complete answers should include the following points: Women organized into such groups as NWSA and NAWSA. They lobbied individual states to grant women the right to vote. They pursued court cases questioning why male citizens had the right to vote while female citizens did not. They sought to involve women from all walks of life in seeking passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. They held public rallies, heckled public officials, and even protested in front of the White House. Students might say that appealing to the states was not very effective since only a few ever granted women the right to vote. Their approach through the court system was not very effective because the Supreme Court ruled that while women were citizens, that did not automatically give them the right to vote. Their most effective tactic was seeking broad support for a constitutional amendment through public demonstrations that could not be overlooked. 23. Complete answers should recognize the following points: The political reforms of the Progressive Era were a function of the inefficiency, ineffectiveness, corruption, or unresponsiveness of the government or government leaders. As the country developed into an industrialized society, new laws and regulations were needed. The lesson is that government and its leaders need to listen to the concerns of the people and take action to respond to the needs of the people. Some of the measures put into place at that time still provide opportunities for individual citizens to have more input in government. For example, an initiative may be placed on a ballot by citizens rather than lawmakers. Voters then decide the fate of the initiative in a referendum. Another reform enacted at this time is the recall, by which an elected official may be removed from office. The Seventeenth Amendment, which called for the direct election of senators, is another progressive reform that helps citizens have a more direct say in how government business is conducted. These reforms have made government more responsive to the concerns of the people. Some students may suggest that many people today still find government to be unresponsive to their needs. Political scandals and government corruption cause citizens to become disillusioned. In many elections, fewer than fifty percent of eligible voters actually vote. 24. C. decreased productivity New Test.tgt, Version: 1 16

17 25. B. ordinary citizens 26. B. to eliminate the use of alcohol in society 27. D. The Supreme Court ruled such bans unconstitutional. 28. A. They called for female workers to strike. 29. A. Some trusts were harmful to the public interest. 30. B. A multi-use land program was possible. 31. D. his failure to unify the Republican Party 32. B. to replace revenue lost by enacting lower tariffs 33. D. It hastened passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. 34. The Nineteenth Amendment did not affect their voting privileges, because they had already gained full suffrage in Wyoming was the first state to grant women full suffrage, in When women in one state gained voting rights, women in neighboring states might have been more likely to demand their rights. People living in the same region of the country might also have had similar lifestyles and values. 37. Students might note that the older states in the East might have been more set in their ways compared to their more recently established neighbors in the West. 38. Students may infer that more and more individual states would have granted women their voting rights as the movement continued to spread. 39. Readers are expected to conclude that only immoral people oppose prohibition-people who want to make big profits no matter what the cost to society or people of generally low moral standards. 40. He might have hoped that people would be shocked to hear how little some Americans had to eat each day. The data are especially alarming because the statistics relate to children. 41. He hoped that viewers would be appalled at the sight of such young boys working in such difficult conditions. The fact that they were working at midnight further demonstrates that the factory owners have no concern for the children's welfare 42. The best essays will point out that all three documents reflect a concern for the welfare of working families, and that the welfare of these families was often threatened by the greed and thoughtlessness of industrialists and other entrepreneurs. Document 1 represents the prohibition movement and appeals to Ohio voters' desire to protect families from the evil effects of alcohol abuse. The advertisement implies that men who drink alcohol buy their liquor with money they should instead spend to feed and clothe their families. It also implies that liquor traffickers make their fortunes at the expense of families. Document 2 represents the social welfare movement, which aimed to help the urban poor. By documenting the inadequate nutrition of poor children, the journalist hopes to make people aware of how poverty affects the lives of children. Document 3, which represents the movement to end child labor, has a similar goal. The photographer highlights the poor working conditions of the boys in the glass factory in the hope of mustering public support for reform. 43. Complete answers should include the following points: The statement implies that the men who controlled the nation's wealth were morally superior. However, their treatment of their workers suggested otherwise. Working conditions were unsafe, the hours extremely long, and the wages poor. Children were exploited as well. The statement also suggests that the business owners had achieved their positions by divine decree. In fact, owners very often obtained their advantage through dishonest means such as bribery, threats, and collusion with other industrialists. Mine owners only grudgingly agreed to some worker demands when Roosevelt threatened to take over the mines. He described mine owners such as Baer as having "extraordinary stupidity." Government legislation and trustbusting activities were a response to the abuses of such owners. 44. Complete answers should recognize the following points: Roosevelt was the most effective in using the "bully pulpit" to bring about needed reforms. He aggressively used the Sherman Antitrust Act to protect the public from the power of monopolies. He regulated the coal mining industry and the railroads. He also brought about many improvements in public health through the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. He aggressively sought to conserve the nation's natural resources through legislation such as the National Reclamation Act. Roosevelt even represented the new Progressive Party in the election of Many of the items on the platform of the Progressive Party that year eventually became the law of the land. Taft was not as effective in championing progressive causes. He signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, which progressives considered a weak compromise. He fired the conservationist Gifford Pinchot, head of the U.S. Forest Service. Taft failed to win the support of Progressives and lost the election of 1912 decisively. Wilson pleased progressives with the Clayton Antitrust Act and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC continues to have a prominent role in government supervision of business. Wilson also established the Federal Reserve System, which is vital to the success and safety of our current banking system. None of the three presidents did much to further the cause of civil rights for African Americans. 45. E. Progressivism 46. C. Woodrow Wilson 47. G. Florence Kelley 48. D. Upton Sinclair New Test.tgt, Version: 1 17

18 49. H. conservation 50. J. Square Deal 51. A. Federal Trade Commission 52. I. William H. Taft 53. B. Federal Reserve System 54. F. Susan B. Anthony 55. E. Washington 56. D. New Mexico 57. B. Wyoming 58. A. Maine 59. C. Florida 60. Yes, the advertisement encourages Ohio citizens to vote for prohibition, or to make the sale of alcohol illegal. 61. Only one family, family 3, had three meals a day. 62. Young boys are working in a glass factory. The surroundings are dark and dirty. The boys' clothes and faces are also dirty. 63. The best answers will point out that reformers sought ways to end the use or abuse of alcohol (Document 1), hunger among poor people (Document 2), and child labor (Document 3). In general, they were interested in improving the lives of working families who were suffering at the hands of greedy industrialists and liquor traffickers. 64. Complete answers should include at least two points similar to the following: People fighting for an important cause should not give up. Although it took many years to accomplish, the suffragists ultimately reached their goal. Even when they suffered setbacks along the way, they kept working until they succeeded. It's important to be flexible in order to solve problems. The suffragists pursued court cases to test the Fourteenth Amendment, but when the Supreme Court ruled that they did not automatically have the right to vote because they were citizens, they took another approach and worked for a constitutional amendment. There is power in numbers. As more and more women became involved in the cause, it became more likely that the suffragists' voices would be heard. Strong leaders can play a key role. Without the strong leadership and planning of Carrie Chapman Catt, women might have had to wait many more years to gain the right to vote. 65. Complete answers should recognize the following points: Average citizens benefited as reforms were passed to improve the quality of their lives. Conservation and preservation efforts were begun. People were given more of a say in how the government would be run. Organized labor benefited by ensuring safer workplaces. Antitrust legislation limited the power of big industry to exploit its workers. Women benefited by winning the right to vote. Children benefited by the passage of child labor laws so that they might attend school instead of being forced to work long hours in unsafe conditions. Consumers benefited from laws to protect the quality of their food. Big business did not benefit as their ability to use unfair business practices was reduced. African Americans did not receive much support in their search for civil rights. New Test.tgt, Version: 1 18

35 Answer Sheet 1. A. Washington 2. E. Florida 3. D. Maine 4. B. Wyoming 5. C. New Mexico 6. Complete answers should recognize the following points: The political reforms of the Progressive Era were a function of the inefficiency, ineffectiveness, corruption, or unresponsiveness of the government or government leaders. As the country developed into an industrialized society, new laws and regulations were needed. The lesson is that government and its leaders need to listen to the concerns of the people and take action to respond to the needs of the people. Some of the measures put into place at that time still provide opportunities for individual citizens to have more input in government. For example, an initiative may be placed on a ballot by citizens rather than lawmakers. Voters then decide the fate of the initiative in a referendum. Another reform enacted at this time is the recall, by which an elected official may be removed from office. The Seventeenth Amendment, which called for the direct election of senators, is another progressive reform that helps citizens have a more direct say in how government business is conducted. These reforms have made government more responsive to the concerns of the people. Some students may suggest that many people today still find government to be unresponsive to their needs. Political scandals and government corruption cause citizens to become disillusioned. In many elections, fewer than fifty percent of eligible voters actually vote. 7. Complete answers should include the following points: Women organized into such groups as NWSA and NAWSA. They lobbied individual states to grant women the right to vote. They pursued court cases questioning why male citizens had the right to vote while female citizens did not. They sought to involve women from all walks of life in seeking passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. They held public rallies, heckled public officials, and even protested in front of the White House. Students might say that appealing to the states was not very effective since only a few ever granted women the right to vote. Their approach through the court system was not very effective because the Supreme Court ruled that while women were citizens, that did not automatically give them the right to vote. Their most effective tactic was seeking broad support for a constitutional amendment through public demonstrations that could not be overlooked. 8. Students might note that the older states in the East might have been more set in their ways compared to their more recently established neighbors in the West. 9. Students may infer that more and more individual states would have granted women their voting rights as the movement continued to spread. 10. The Nineteenth Amendment did not affect their voting privileges, because they had already gained full suffrage in When women in one state gained voting rights, women in neighboring states might have been more likely to demand their rights. People living in the same region of the country might also have had similar lifestyles and values. 12. Wyoming was the first state to grant women full suffrage, in People in whole regions tended to agree on the issue of woman suffrage, as shown by the large blocks of states with similar laws. 14. The Midwest and West were generally more progressive because states in those regions tended to grant women full or partial suffrage earlier than Eastern and Southern states. 15. D. Florence Kelley. 16. D. Pure Food and Drug Act. 17. C. promoting business monopolies. 18. A. equality among the races. 19. B. journalists. 20. B. an initiative. 21. B. William H. Taft. 22. D. unsanitary conditions in the meat-packing industry. 23. C. servants. 24. D. Theodore Roosevelt. 25. D C. more progressive 27. D. Colorado New Test.tgt, Version: 2 16

36 28. D. New Mexico 29. D. Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Michigan. 30. B. Federal Reserve System 31. D. conservation 32. E. Square Deal 33. G. William H. Taft 34. J. Susan B. Anthony 35. C. Progressivism 36. A. Federal Trade Commission 37. H. Upton Sinclair 38. I. Woodrow Wilson 39. F. Florence Kelley 40. C. ordinary citizens 41. C. The Supreme Court ruled such bans unconstitutional. 42. B. to eliminate the use of alcohol in society 43. A. Some trusts were harmful to the public interest. 44. B. They called for female workers to strike. 45. B. to replace revenue lost by enacting lower tariffs 46. D. It hastened passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. 47. C. his failure to unify the Republican Party 48. B. decreased productivity 49. A. A multi-use land program was possible. 50. Complete answers should recognize the following points: Roosevelt was the most effective in using the "bully pulpit" to bring about needed reforms. He aggressively used the Sherman Antitrust Act to protect the public from the power of monopolies. He regulated the coal mining industry and the railroads. He also brought about many improvements in public health through the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. He aggressively sought to conserve the nation's natural resources through legislation such as the National Reclamation Act. Roosevelt even represented the new Progressive Party in the election of Many of the items on the platform of the Progressive Party that year eventually became the law of the land. Taft was not as effective in championing progressive causes. He signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, which progressives considered a weak compromise. He fired the conservationist Gifford Pinchot, head of the U.S. Forest Service. Taft failed to win the support of Progressives and lost the election of 1912 decisively. Wilson pleased progressives with the Clayton Antitrust Act and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC continues to have a prominent role in government supervision of business. Wilson also established the Federal Reserve System, which is vital to the success and safety of our current banking system. None of the three presidents did much to further the cause of civil rights for African Americans. 51. Complete answers should include the following points: The statement implies that the men who controlled the nation's wealth were morally superior. However, their treatment of their workers suggested otherwise. Working conditions were unsafe, the hours extremely long, and the wages poor. Children were exploited as well. The statement also suggests that the business owners had achieved their positions by divine decree. In fact, owners very often obtained their advantage through dishonest means such as bribery, threats, and collusion with other industrialists. Mine owners only grudgingly agreed to some worker demands when Roosevelt threatened to take over the mines. He described mine owners such as Baer as having "extraordinary stupidity." Government legislation and trustbusting activities were a response to the abuses of such owners. 52. Complete answers should include at least two points similar to the following: People fighting for an important cause should not give up. Although it took many years to accomplish, the suffragists ultimately reached their goal. Even when they suffered setbacks along the way, they kept working until they succeeded. It's important to be flexible in order to solve problems. The suffragists pursued court cases to test the Fourteenth Amendment, but when the Supreme Court ruled that they did not automatically have the right to vote because they were citizens, they took another approach and worked for a constitutional amendment. There is power in numbers. As more and more women became involved in the cause, it became more likely that the suffragists' voices would be heard. Strong leaders can play a key role. Without the strong leadership and planning of Carrie Chapman Catt, women might have had to wait many more years to gain the right to vote. New Test.tgt, Version: 2 17

37 53. Complete answers should recognize the following points: Average citizens benefited as reforms were passed to improve the quality of their lives. Conservation and preservation efforts were begun. People were given more of a say in how the government would be run. Organized labor benefited by ensuring safer workplaces. Antitrust legislation limited the power of big industry to exploit its workers. Women benefited by winning the right to vote. Children benefited by the passage of child labor laws so that they might attend school instead of being forced to work long hours in unsafe conditions. Consumers benefited from laws to protect the quality of their food. Big business did not benefit as their ability to use unfair business practices was reduced. African Americans did not receive much support in their search for civil rights. 54. The messages on the money bags imply that people who profit from the sale of alcohol do so at the expense of families and children. Liquor hurts families while making liquor traffickers rich. 55. Such children would likely not do well in school because they lack proper nutrition. They would probably drop out of school and take jobs as unskilled laborers, continuing the cycle of poverty. 56. Their families are probably very poor, forcing the boys to go to work rather than attend school. The boys work long hours in a dark factory. 57. The best essays will point out that reformers used advertisements and political cartoons (Document 1), reports of conditions among the poor (Document 2), and documentary photographs (Document 3) to influence public opinion. The advertisement uses a cartoon to depict opponents of prohibition in a negative light. The text of the advertisement also implies that only immoral people do not support prohibition. John Spargo's journalism reveals how bad the situation is for the nation's poor, just as Lewis Hine's photographs document the horrible conditions of child labor. Both Spargo and Hine hope that if more citizens are educated about poverty in America, they will be motivated to do something about it. 58. Yes, the advertisement encourages Ohio citizens to vote for prohibition, or to make the sale of alcohol illegal. 59. Only one family, family 3, had three meals a day. 60. Young boys are working in a glass factory. The surroundings are dark and dirty. The boys' clothes and faces are also dirty. 61. The best answers will point out that reformers sought ways to end the use or abuse of alcohol (Document 1), hunger among poor people (Document 2), and child labor (Document 3). In general, they were interested in improving the lives of working families who were suffering at the hands of greedy industrialists and liquor traffickers. 62. Readers are expected to conclude that only immoral people oppose prohibition-people who want to make big profits no matter what the cost to society or people of generally low moral standards. 63. He might have hoped that people would be shocked to hear how little some Americans had to eat each day. The data are especially alarming because the statistics relate to children. 64. He hoped that viewers would be appalled at the sight of such young boys working in such difficult conditions. The fact that they were working at midnight further demonstrates that the factory owners have no concern for the children's welfare 65. The best essays will point out that all three documents reflect a concern for the welfare of working families, and that the welfare of these families was often threatened by the greed and thoughtlessness of industrialists and other entrepreneurs. Document 1 represents the prohibition movement and appeals to Ohio voters' desire to protect families from the evil effects of alcohol abuse. The advertisement implies that men who drink alcohol buy their liquor with money they should instead spend to feed and clothe their families. It also implies that liquor traffickers make their fortunes at the expense of families. Document 2 represents the social welfare movement, which aimed to help the urban poor. By documenting the inadequate nutrition of poor children, the journalist hopes to make people aware of how poverty affects the lives of children. Document 3, which represents the movement to end child labor, has a similar goal. The photographer highlights the poor working conditions of the boys in the glass factory in the hope of mustering public support for reform. New Test.tgt, Version: 2 18

Complete answers should recognize the following points: Average citizens benefited as reforms were passed to improve the quality of their lives. Conservation and preservation efforts were begun. People were given more of a say in how the government would be run. Organized labor benefited by ensuring safer workplaces. Antitrust legislation limited the power of big industry to exploit its workers. Women benefited by winning the right to vote. Children benefited by the passage of child labor laws so that they might attend school instead of being forced to work long hours in unsafe conditions. Consumers benefited from laws to protect the quality of their food. Big business did not benefit as their ability to use unfair business practices was reduced. African Americans did not receive much support in their search for civil rights. 23. Complete answers should include at least two points similar to the following: People fighting for an important cause should not give up. Although it took many years to accomplish, the suffragists ultimately reached their goal. Even when they suffered setbacks along the way, they kept working until they succeeded. It's important to be flexible in order to solve problems. The suffragists pursued court cases to test the Fourteenth Amendment, but when the Supreme Court ruled that they did not automatically have the right to vote because they were citizens, they took another approach and worked for a constitutional amendment. There is power in numbers. As more and more women became involved in the cause, it became more likely that the suffragists' voices would be heard. Strong leaders can play a key role. Without the strong leadership and planning of Carrie Chapman Catt, women might have had to wait many more years to gain the right to vote. 24. B. journalists. 25. A. unsanitary conditions in the meat-packing industry. New Test.tgt, Version: 3 17

Yes, the advertisement encourages Ohio citizens to vote for prohibition, or to make the sale of alcohol illegal. 40. Only one family, family 3, had three meals a day. 41. Young boys are working in a glass factory. The surroundings are dark and dirty. The boys' clothes and faces are also dirty. 42. The best answers will point out that reformers sought ways to end the use or abuse of alcohol (Document 1), hunger among poor people (Document 2), and child labor (Document 3). In general, they were interested in improving the lives of working families who were suffering at the hands of greedy industrialists and liquor traffickers. 43. Complete answers should recognize the following points: The political reforms of the Progressive Era were a function of the inefficiency, ineffectiveness, corruption, or unresponsiveness of the government or government leaders. As the country developed into an industrialized society, new laws and regulations were needed. The lesson is that government and its leaders need to listen to the concerns of the people and take action to respond to the needs of the people. Some of the measures put into place at that time still provide opportunities for individual citizens to have more input in government. For example, an initiative may be placed on a ballot by citizens rather than lawmakers. Voters then decide the fate of the initiative in a referendum. Another reform enacted at this time is the recall, by which an elected official may be removed from office. The Seventeenth Amendment, which called for the direct election of senators, is another progressive reform that helps citizens have a more direct say in how government business is conducted. These reforms have made government more responsive to the concerns of the people. Some students may suggest that many people today still find government to be unresponsive to their needs. Political scandals and government corruption cause citizens to become disillusioned. In many elections, fewer than fifty percent of eligible voters actually vote. 44. Complete answers should include the following points: Women organized into such groups as NWSA and NAWSA. They lobbied individual states to grant women the right to vote. They pursued court cases questioning why male citizens had the right to vote while female citizens did not. They sought to involve women from all walks of life in seeking passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. They held public rallies, heckled public officials, and even protested in front of the White House. Students might say that appealing to the states was not very effective since only a few ever granted women the right to vote. Their approach through the court system was not very effective because the Supreme Court ruled that while women were citizens, that did not automatically give them the right to vote. Their most effective tactic was seeking broad support for a constitutional amendment through public demonstrations that could not be overlooked. 45. C. They called for female workers to strike. 46. A. to replace revenue lost by enacting lower tariffs 47. C. Some trusts were harmful to the public interest. 48. D. decreased productivity 49. A. his failure to unify the Republican Party 50. B. It hastened passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. 51. A. ordinary citizens 52. D. The Supreme Court ruled such bans unconstitutional. 53. A. A multi-use land program was possible. 54. A. to eliminate the use of alcohol in society New Test.tgt, Version: 3 18

57 55. The messages on the money bags imply that people who profit from the sale of alcohol do so at the expense of families and children. Liquor hurts families while making liquor traffickers rich. 56. Such children would likely not do well in school because they lack proper nutrition. They would probably drop out of school and take jobs as unskilled laborers, continuing the cycle of poverty. 57. Their families are probably very poor, forcing the boys to go to work rather than attend school. The boys work long hours in a dark factory. 58. The best essays will point out that reformers used advertisements and political cartoons (Document 1), reports of conditions among the poor (Document 2), and documentary photographs (Document 3) to influence public opinion. The advertisement uses a cartoon to depict opponents of prohibition in a negative light. The text of the advertisement also implies that only immoral people do not support prohibition. John Spargo's journalism reveals how bad the situation is for the nation's poor, just as Lewis Hine's photographs document the horrible conditions of child labor. Both Spargo and Hine hope that if more citizens are educated about poverty in America, they will be motivated to do something about it. 59. Wyoming was the first state to grant women full suffrage, in When women in one state gained voting rights, women in neighboring states might have been more likely to demand their rights. People living in the same region of the country might also have had similar lifestyles and values. 61. Students may infer that more and more individual states would have granted women their voting rights as the movement continued to spread. 62. Students might note that the older states in the East might have been more set in their ways compared to their more recently established neighbors in the West. 63. The Nineteenth Amendment did not affect their voting privileges, because they had already gained full suffrage in Complete answers should recognize the following points: Roosevelt was the most effective in using the "bully pulpit" to bring about needed reforms. He aggressively used the Sherman Antitrust Act to protect the public from the power of monopolies. He regulated the coal mining industry and the railroads. He also brought about many improvements in public health through the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. He aggressively sought to conserve the nation's natural resources through legislation such as the National Reclamation Act. Roosevelt even represented the new Progressive Party in the election of Many of the items on the platform of the Progressive Party that year eventually became the law of the land. Taft was not as effective in championing progressive causes. He signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, which progressives considered a weak compromise. He fired the conservationist Gifford Pinchot, head of the U.S. Forest Service. Taft failed to win the support of Progressives and lost the election of 1912 decisively. Wilson pleased progressives with the Clayton Antitrust Act and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC continues to have a prominent role in government supervision of business. Wilson also established the Federal Reserve System, which is vital to the success and safety of our current banking system. None of the three presidents did much to further the cause of civil rights for African Americans. 65. Complete answers should include the following points: The statement implies that the men who controlled the nation's wealth were morally superior. However, their treatment of their workers suggested otherwise. Working conditions were unsafe, the hours extremely long, and the wages poor. Children were exploited as well. The statement also suggests that the business owners had achieved their positions by divine decree. In fact, owners very often obtained their advantage through dishonest means such as bribery, threats, and collusion with other industrialists. Mine owners only grudgingly agreed to some worker demands when Roosevelt threatened to take over the mines. He described mine owners such as Baer as having "extraordinary stupidity." Government legislation and trustbusting activities were a response to the abuses of such owners. New Test.tgt, Version: 3 19
