The correct answer is is also known as the bread and roses strike.

It didn't start with lowered hours but with lowered paychecks for lowered hours. It didn't involve only children since the majority of the strikers were immigrants and women. It received a lot of public attention and people even died due to police malpractice. The uprising of the 20000 was another strike that had occurred earlier.
