What reading level is Lowell An Industrial Dream Come True book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Butler, of Lowell, made a campaign for the Legislature on the issue of a ten-hour day. The mills posted notices to the effect that any man who voted for Butler would be discharged, thus giving him the very chance he desired, — that of a spectacular appeal to the people. At an indignation meeting held by the oper- atives, he made a speech which counted largely in electing him, and, although a ten-hour law was not secured by him, it was not long thereafter that the one establishing an eleven-hour... day was put into effect, whether by Butler's efforts or not is open to question.
A year later, another candidate, one Farnsworth, ran for the Legislature on the ten-hour issue. He, too, was elected but failed to secure the passage of his bill.
The next definite move, after the petition of 1850, was an unsuccessful attempt to pass a bill providing that chil- dren under fifteen should work not more than ten hours a day. For several years at very frequent intervals, how- ever, ten-hour meetings were held, these proving to be the best method of keeping interest in the movement actively before the people.
