What reading level is As It is in the Philippines book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a week's time, those who had no money left, re- turned and went to work, and the rest of them gradually came back, so that in less than three weeks they were at work again. As an instance of the causelessness of the strike, it may be stated that men in McCullough's, who, three years ago were receiving the old Spanish wages of three or four dollars a week, were getting from twenty-five to thirty dollars. Printing is abnor- mally high in the Philippines. The reason for this is the cost of labo...r and the necessity of hav- ing one hundred and fifty Filipinos to do what fifty men could do in the United States. Isabella de los Reyes also organized a strike among the dockmen and lightermen, many of whom were earning from one to two dollars a day, U. S. Currency, with the result of a great interference with shipping and the final defeat of the men, who demanded the same as they would be paid in the United States for the same class of work, which would have meant ruin to the shipping, as it would take three men to do the work one does in America.
