Pierre Luiggie Coellina: "Workers of the World Unite , Karl Marx": Workers of the World Unite , Karl Marx "In the nineteenth century there were thousands of cotton mills in the north of England. Dark smoke poured from their tall chimneys, polluting the streets and covering everything in soot. Inside men, women and children worked very long hours – often 14-hour days – to keep the spinning machines going. They weren’t quite slaves, but their wages were very low, and the conditions were tough and often dangerous. If they lost concen- tration they could get caught up in the machinery and lose limbs or even be killed. Medical treatment in these circum- stances was basic. They had little choice, though: if they didn’t work they would starve. If they walked away, they might not find another job. People who worked in these conditions didn’t live long, and there were very few moments in their lives they could call their own."
