What reading level is The Working Classes of Upper Silesia An Historical Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Mining Law of this year did away with the last restrictions: the owners of the mines had all the mineral treasures at their disposal, the scanty exceptions which the law still maintained were put aside by practice. The "free bar- 34 gaining for labour" was the leading principle. At those times the principle of free competition was thought to be able to work wonders and do away with all social evils. These hopes were not realised. Unfettered free compe- tition without any restrictions proved... to be fatal to the general welfare. In Upner-Silesia the Polish workmen fell victims to the most shameless exploitation and oppression.
Up to that time wages had been regulated every year by the State Mining Board. Mining being, in theory, a royalty, the State protected the workmen both against an excessive cutting-down of the wages and against unemployment. Now all this ceased. With what result, we will see later on.
According to Solger in the year 1858 a cutter earned in a coal mine for 300 working days 160 talers a year, a carrier 108 talers.
