What reading level is The Great Steel Strike And Its Lessons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
W. Jett Lauck, acting on behalf of the railroad workers, submitted figures to the United States Railroad Labor Board (A. P. Dis- patches May 19, 1920) showing that during the years 1916-18 the Bethlehem Steel Corporation " earned " average annual profits of $29, 000, 000, or six times its pre-war average. In 1916 its profits amounted to 146 per cent, on its capital stock. Our [150] Johnstown friend, the Cambria Steel Company, in 1916-17 cleaned up $50, 000, 000 on $45, 000, 000 capital stock; w...hile the Lackawanna, Republic, Col- orado Fuel and Iron, Jones and Laughlin, Crucible, etc. , companies made similar killings.
As against useless, non-producing drones getting these millions, the great mass of workers actually operating the industry were receiving the beggarly wages of from 42 to 48 cents per hour. They had received no increase for a year before the strike, not- withstanding the skyrocketing cost of living. Yet the Senate Committee could discover no discontent at this condition nor see any injustice in it.
