To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE TRADE UNION 125 glass producing plants in the United States and succeeded in raising the wages fifteen per cent.
He introduced methods of arbitration and col- lective agreements and established a successful system of insurance.
James O'Connell, the president of the Inter- national Association of Machinists, led his organi- zation safely through the panic of 1893, reorganized it upon a broader basis, and introduced sick bene- fits. In 1901 after a long and wearisome dickering with the Nation...al Metal Trades Association, a shorter day was agreed upon, but, as the employers would not agree to a ten-hour wage for a nine-hour day, O'Connell led his men out on a general strike and won.
Thomas Kidd, secretary of the Wood- Workers' International Union, was largely responsible for the agreement made with the manufacturers in 1897 for the establishment of a minimum wage of fifteen cents an hour for a ten-hour day, a considerable advance over the average wage paid up to that time. Kidd was the object of severe attacks in various localities, and in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where labor riots took place for the enforcement of the Union demands, he was arrested for conspiracy but acquitted by the trial jury.
