Factory reform
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factory reform was a movement in the United Kingdom during the 19th century to limit the hours that could be worked in factories and mills. The first aim of the movement was for a "ten hours bill" to limit to ten hours the working day of children. Richard Oastler was one of the movement's most prominent leaders.
