Auguste and Louis Lumière (Lumière Brothers)

The Lumiere Brothers were French inventors who invented early motion-picture camera and projector called the Cinématographe, a device that combined a camera with printer and projector. the Cinématographe was much smaller than Edison’s Kinetograph, was lightweight, and was hand cranked. They were both very intelligent and excelled in science subjects. During a experiment, Louis discovered a process which helped the development of photography. A factory was built soon after to manufacture the plates for the film. The brothers were important because film gave us the idea of what life looks like through other peoples lives

Dealing With Workers

The Chinese workers went on strike after the leaders refused to pay them 40 dollars a month and refused them after they said they wanted to work 10 hours a day at the most. 'Charles Crocker called in leaders of the movement and promised them he'd stop work entirely before considering a single one of their demands.'
During the strike, Crocker cut off the workers supply. He kept butchers from providing meat. Then he left the Chinese men to sit in their camps for a week. After that crocker thought his work would be stopped forever, they took advantage of the African American labor from the East. Crocker expressed "A Negro labor force would tend to keep the Chinese steady, as the Chinese have kept the Irishmen quiet." Motivated by malnutrition, most men agreed to return to work even after Crocker didn't come to agreement with money and hours.
