He also conceded he once gave

THERE WERE NO child
labor laws in 1869. Mike

His mother needed the
money. The grown men had
a half hour for lunch. The
kid used this time to pick up
a long pipe. twist the agate
colored hot glass onto the
end of it, and try to blow
bottles of uniform size.
In five years, he was a
glass blower. A new kid was
shoveling the coal. Mike
Owens learned how to twist
exactly the right amount Of
hot glass on the end of the
pipe, how to tilt it and blow
gently until the bottle as
sumed the right proportions.
The bottle had to go into
another oven for long, slow
cooling. Otherwise, it would
shatter.
