Answer 1

- the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory
- the unsanitary working conditions at many factories

Reason: The Triangle fire exposed deadly safety failures in factories, and widespread unsafe/unsanitary conditions highlighted the need for workplace regulations. The 14th Amendment and "dangerous communication devices" are not causes of labor reform; strikes were a tactic workers used to press for change but the tragic conditions and disasters were the main prompts.
