The Temple of Moloch 1914

Workers in a pottery factory labor in unhealthy, unventilated and dangerous conditions, but the plant’s wealthy owner doesn’t see any need to change things. It’s not long before one of his workers falls ill to tuberculosis, and soon the owner learns the meaning of the old adage, “What goes around comes around”.
