QUESTIONS 1-11

On March 25, 1911, one of the five hundred employees of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York noticed that a rag bin near her eighth—floor work station was on fire

Workers immediately tried to extinguish the flames Their efforts proved futile, as piles

of fabric ignited all over the eighth floor The manager of the factory ordered his em-

5 ployees to unroll the fire extinguisher hose, but they found it rotted and useless

The shirt factory occupied the top three floors of the ten—story Asch Building

The seventy employees who worked on the tenth floor escaped the fire by way of the

staircases or climbed onto the roof, where students from New York University, located

across the street, stretched ladders over to the Asch Building

10 The 260 workers on the ninth floor had the worst luck of all Although the eighth

floor workers tried to warn them by telephone, the call did not reach them, and by the

time they learned about the fire, their routes of escape were mostly blocked Some

managed to climb down the cables of the freight elevator Others crammed into the

narrow stairway Still others climbed onto the single, inadequately constructed fire

15 escape But that spindly structure could not support the weight of hundreds of people,

and it separated from the wall, falling to the ground and carrying many people with it

To combat the disaster, the New York Fire Department sent thirty-five pieces of equipment, including a hook and ladder The young women trapped on the ninth—floor

window ledge watched in horror as the ladder, fully raised, stopped far below them,

20 reaching only as far as the sixth floor

Within minutes, the factory—a fire trap typical of the period’s working conditions—

was consumed by flame, killing 146 workers, mostly immigrant women City officials

set up a temporary morgue on 26th Street, and over the next few days streams of

survivors filed through the building to identify the dead

25 The Triangle Shirtwaist fire brought a public outcry for laws to regulate the safety

of working conditions The New York Factory Investigating Commission was formed to

examine the working conditions in factories throughout the state Their report introduced

many new regulations The fire had occurred during an era of progressive reform that was

beginning to sweep the nation, as people decided that government had a responsibility to

30 ensure that private industry protected the welfare of working people

What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The causes of a fire in a shirt factory

(B) Working conditions in New York City
