Timeline of triangle shirtwaist factory

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

July 13, 1900 Plans for a new building for Joseph Asch at Greene Street and Washington Place in New York City are approved.

January 15, 1901  Construction of the Asch building is completed.

1906  The Triangle Shirtwaist Company opens a factory on the eighth floor of the Asch building.

June 1909  A fire prevention expert writes a letter to Triangle Shirtwaist management suggesting that they hold a meeting to discuss improved safety measures, but the letter is ignored.

September 1909  Local 25 of the ILGWU declares a strike against the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. By November, the strike spreads to other shirtwaist manufacturers. The strike ends after thirteen weeks that saw over 700 striking workers arrested.

October 15, 1910  The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory passes a routine fire inspection.

November 25, 1910  A factory fire in Newark kills 25 workers, setting off renewed calls for improved fire prevention efforts.

January 15, 1911  The last time an accumulation (over a ton's worth) of cutaways is picked up from the Triangle Shirtwaist factory by a dealer. (The heavy accumulation of cutaways will help fuel the fire two months later.)

March 16, 1911  A report on fire traps is published. The report argues that many New York City building lack "even the most indispensable precautions necessary."

March 25, 1911 (4:40)  Shortly before quitting time of 4:45, a fire breaks out on the eighth floor of the Asch building, housing the Triangle Shirtwaist factory. The fire will claim 146 victims, mostly young women.

March 25, 1911 (4:46)  NYFD Company 72 arrives at the Asch building. The fire is spreading towards the ninth and tenth floors, also the workplace for Triangle Shirtwaist Company employees. Employees on the eighth floor head down, those on the tenth head to the roof, many on the ninth floor have nowhere to go.

March 25, 1911 (4:57)  The last of dozens of bodies falls to the sidewalk from the ninth floor ledge.

March 25, 1911 (5:05)  The fire is effectively brought under control.

March 25, 1911 (5:15)  The fire is described as practically "all over."

March 25, 1911 (6:20)  Fire fighters make their way to the badly burned top three floors of the Asch building, finding dozens of badly burned bodies as they do so.

March 25, 1911 (6:45)  Throngs of grieving people push through police lines and move toward the Asch building.

March 25, 1911 (8:00)   By now, 60 bodies have been lowered from the upper floors. The Death wagon returns to the Asch building for its second load.

March 25, 1911 (8:15) A Triangle Shirtwaist worker stuck in water in the bottom of an elevator shaft is rescued by fire fighters.

March 25, 1911 (9:05)  A row of lights strung around the outside of the Asch building is turned on.

March 25, 1911 (11:15)  The last body is taken down from the upper floors.

March 26, 1911  More than 100,000 grieving relatives and curious members of the public stream through a temporary morgue on the Twenty-sixth street pier, identifying loved ones or just looking.

April 2, 1911  A meeting is held to discuss concerns over lack of safe working conditions in New York City's factories. Resolutions are passed demanding new legislation.

April 5, 1911  A funeral parade is held for the seven bodies of fire victims that remain unidentified.

April 11, 1911 Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, co-owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, are indicted for manslaughter in connection with the fire deaths. Reports indicate that the escape route from the ninth floor was blocked by a locked door.

June 30, 1911 New York creates a Factory Investigating Commission to examine the need for new legislation to prevent future fire disasters. The Commission will inspect 1,836 establishments and interview 222 witnesses before issuing its report. In part because of the work of the Commission, "the golden era in remedial factory legislation" is launched. Over the next three years, New York will enact 36 new safety laws.

December 4, 1911  Jury selection begins in the manslaughter trial of Harris and Blanck.

December 5, 1911 An angry crowd of women shout "Murderers! Murderers!" at the two defendants as they exit an elevator in the courtroom.

December 27, 1911  The jury retires to deliberate. After just less than two hours of discussion, the jury returns a verdict of not guilty.

March 21, 1912  The District Attorney moves for a second trial of Harris and Blanck, based on manslaughter indictments involving different victims than those in the first tria. The case will be dismissed, however, on Double Jeopardy grounds.

March 11, 1914   Twenty-three individual suits for damages against Triangle are settled for an average of just $75 per life lost.

February 22, 2001  Rose Freedman, the last survivor of the Triangle Fire, dies at age 107. She had been a lifelong crusader for worker safety.

"Use the table to describe each of the movements and their point of view regarding the US policy of neutrality from 1914 to 1917.

(The Preparedness Movement) | (The Woman's Peace Party)

Answers

Answer:

The Preparedness Movement

The Preparedness Movement was founded in the US shortly after war broke out in Europe in 1914. Adherents of the Preparedness Movement urged the US to strengthen its military power and also thought that the US should become engaged in World War I. The movement held summer camps to train future military officers. It was led in part by Theodore Roosevelt and Leonard Wood.

The Woman's Peace Party

This group was one of many that wanted the United States to stay neutral in the war. The party, which was created in 1915, feared that increased militarism in the US would lead the country to war. Led by activist Jane Addams, the party wrote a letter to President Wilson urging him to focus on finding a diplomatic, rather than military, solution to the war in Europe.

Write paragraph explaining immigration in the United States and the process to citizenship. Using these words green card, visa ,deportation, undocumented, asylum,immigration services

Answers

Answer:U.S. immigration law is based on the following principles: the reunification of families, admitting immigrants with skills that are valuable to the U.S. economy, protecting refugees, and promoting diversity. This fact sheet provides basic information about how the U.S. legal immigration system is designed and functions.

The body of law governing U.S. immigration policy is called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA allows the United States to grant up to 675,000 permanent immigrant visas each year across various visa categories. On top of those 675,000 visas, the INA sets no limit on the annual admission of U.S. citizens’ spouses, parents, and children under the age of 21. In addition, each year the president is required to consult with Congress and set an annual number of refugees to be admitted to the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

Once a person obtains an immigrant visa and comes to the United States, they become a lawful permanent resident (LPR). In some circumstances, noncitizens already inside the United States can obtain LPR status through a process known as “adjustment of status.”

LPRs are eligible to apply for nearly all jobs (i.e., jobs not legitimately restricted to U.S. citizens) and can remain in the country permanently, even if they are unemployed. After residing in the United States for five years (or three years in some circumstances), LPRs are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. It is impossible to apply for citizenship through the normal process without first becoming an LPR.

Each year the United States also admits a variety of noncitizens on a temporary basis. Such “non-immigrant” visas are granted to everyone from tourists to foreign students to temporary workers permitted to remain in the country for years. While certain employment-based visas are subject to annual caps, other non-immigrant visas (including tourist and student visas) have no numerical limits.
