Big business was not concerned with good and healthy working conditions, underpaid their workers, would not allow them to organize labor unions, little or no vacation time, six day week, long working day, no fringe benefits and all the time these people got wealthier and wealthier. Some even did not pay salaries but gave their workers chits to be used only in the company store.

A History vs An History

I know you can use "an" before words that start with an "h" where the "h" is silent, but is history an exception? I don't think the "h" is silent but its pretty quiet when I pronounce history.

HISTORY DETECTIVES Submit Your Mysteries ...

http://www.pbs.org/historydetectives Do you have an object that you think may have played a starring role in American history but don't quite know how? Why not give the History Detectives a crack at it! Most of the mysteries featured on HISTORY DETECTIVES come from viewers' e-mail submissions. In the past season alone the Detectives have helped a Lexington, North Carolina viewer reunite a moving World War II diary with the family of its author; checked out an antique typewriter which a Portland, Oregon viewer thought may have belonged to World War II journalist Ernie Pyle; examined an old instrument panel owned by a Hoboken, New Jersey man to see if it might have been recovered from the crash of the Hindenburg. That's just the beginning. If you have a mystery you'd like the History Detectives to investigate, you can submit your story online at http://www.pbs.org/historydetectives Watch for new season of History Detectives premiering Summer 2009.
