Here are the answers for the questions you've provided:

6. **B) Samuel Gompers/AFL**
- Samuel Gompers was a labor leader who advocated for workers' rights and fair labor conditions, which fits the context of ensuring that workers’ conditions were fair, particularly in demanding industrial environments like glassworks.

- The Bessemer process allowed for the mass production of steel, which was essential for building railroads, leading to the rapid growth of the railroad industry.

8. **B) Workers received more vacation time.**
- This statement is NOT correct as industrialization in the late nineteenth century often resulted in workers having longer hours and less time off, rather than more vacation time.
