alcoholism were facts of everyday life
- no Government regulations on child
labor, safety or education

dangerous machinery and cruel discipline
- the greatest concentration of workers were
in Moscow and St. Petersburg
- peasants came from the land to
work in 'improved' conditions
- the working conditions were no better
than the living conditions

coal production trebled

was common

massively within each class
