Alejandro Clayton · Answer 1

Factory owners kept workers on rigid schedules. Until the early 1900's, child labor existed and wedges were little in comparison to those paid to adults. In addition, during the industrial revolution, factory owners did not need skilled workers anymore. To operate the machines in the factory or finish a product, they used the division of labor, which allowed to have more finished goods with a lower cost, and with an increase in profit.

Roger Orozco · Answer 2

The correct answer is "kept workers on rigid schedules". During Industrial Revolution when the rights of the workers were not established yet, factory owners used to abuse of their power by giving rigid schedules to their workers. The other options are incorrect since factory owners not used to give high payments and even used to hire child workers in order to reduce the salaries costs.
