Article: "A real worker's views"

   "A real worker's views" (Sept., 03, 1878) is an article that The Washington Post reprinted from another newspaper, The New York Tribune.  Dated Sept. 1878, it reports the opinions of Mr. Roach, a worker during the American industrialization.  He recounts the positives and negatives of the industrialization - changes in SES, labor costs, the impact of war, etc - from a personal viewpoint. For my ELL students, I would probably create a selective reading guide for this article and have them concentrate on a few paragraphs prior to instruction on the formation of labor unions.  "A real worker's views" touches on several main ideas about the impact of America's industrustializtion on the working individual.
