Need to put material in sub-articles

Hello all. As you can see/guess, this is from Britannica. I put it up because we didn't have an article here, and it's so thorough that it was well worth it. I've done quite a bit of formatting already. But what I really need to do is create articles for each of the Factory Acts that is covered here, and all the other legislation, and just give much shorter summaries here.

Also, there's nothing here on collective labour law, e.g. the Criminal Conspiracies and Protection of Property Act 1875, which decriminalised unions. And there's nothing on post 1911 stuff - the Whitley Boards, the General Strike, the peaks of organisation and the strife of the 60s and 70s with the courts' response (though the latter is still with us).

Liverpool mineworker claim

Do we know where there the "The average life expectancy of a Liverpool mineworker was 30 years in 1900" claim comes from? It is unreferenced, Liverpool wasn't a big mining area so it is puzzling. I have asked this on the [Talk:Labour_law] page too. RoyalBlueStuey (talk) 09:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
