Introduction Paragraph Israel Rosen, a male who passed away to the 1911 factory fire. Israel was 17 years old at the time of the factory fire. Israel was born in Russia and lived in the united states for 3 years and he was a union member. After Israel Rosen’s death, he was buried at Mt Zion Cemetery on March 31st, 1911. In my essay, I will be blaming the factory owners. I am blaming the factory owners because I feel like the factory owners are the cause of the 146 deaths.

This shows that the owners didn’t do any fire drills or show people/workers what to do during a fire. They should have showed workers how to react and what to do during a fire because no one would’ve panicked and everyone could’ve gotten out safely. Another point that supports my argument is from a very helpful article named ‘United States Department of Labor’. In this article, they talk about the factory’s horrible machinery and poor fire protection. It says here on the United States Department of Labor page that, “Rapid changes in technology and economic conditions discouraged owners from making heavy investment in well-designed plant and equipment. Older plants had very poor fire protection. Machinery guarding lighting and sanitary conditions often were bad”. This shows owners had poor fire protection items because that also could’ve caused the factory fire. For the reasons above, the owners were to blame for the deaths of the workers because they were having machinery that were horrible and poor fire
