A recent history of the Chicago meat-packing industry and its workers examines how the industry grew from its appearance in the 1830’s through the early 1890’s. Meatpackers, the author argues, had good wages, working conditions, and prospects for advancement within the packinghouses, and did not cooperate with labor agitators since labor relations were so harmonious. Because the history maintains that conditions were above standard for the era, the frequency of labor disputes, especially in the mid-1880’s, is not accounted for. The work ignores the fact that the 1880’s were crucial years in American labor history, and that the’ packinghouse workers’ efforts were part of the national movement for labor reform.
In fact, other historical sources for the late nineteenth century record deteriorating housing and high disease and infant mortality rates in the industrial community, due to low wages and unhealthy working conditions. Additional d
A. inform the reader of events that occurred in the meat-packing industry after the period of time covered by the history
B. suggest the history’s limitations by pointing out a situation that the history failed to explain adequately
C. salvage the history’s point of view by suggesting that there were positive developments in the meat-packing industry due to worker unity
D. introduce a new issue designed to elaborate on the good relationship between the meat-packers and Chicago’s ethnic communities
