Answer:

Factory owners wanted to maximize profits.

Explanation:

As factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. With a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid - which means they wanted to maximize their profits regardless of their workers' welfare.

Owners, who were only concerned with making a profit, were satisfied because labor costed less.
