Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the plight of bituminous coal mine workers in the early 20th century, a time marked by immense industrial change and social unrest. The author meticulously analyzes the mine workers' case for a living wage, detailing how their earnings failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living, even before the outbreak of the First World War. The book underscores the injustice of the prevailing economic system, which treated labor as a commodity to be bought and sold at the lowest possible price. The author argues that the mine workers' demand for a shorter work day was not simply a desire for less work, but a necessary step towards achieving a living wage in a chronically under-employed industry. Through detailed analysis of wage data, cost of living statistics, and the profits of coal operators, the author exposes the disparities between the workerââ â¢s wages and the consumerââ â¢s price for coal, ultimately laying bare the exploitative nature of the industry. The book offers a powerful historical examination of labor relations and the struggle for social justice in a period of rapid industrialization, revealing the human cost of economic inequality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
