塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The coal famine began to tell upon the iron-workers. The furnaces were often laid off for want of coal. The principal causes of the bad supply of coal arose from shorter hours of labour, and higher wages for less work. Yet a bonus of three and a quarter per cent, was allowed on the wages and salaries received by the _employés_ during the year 1871. The co-operative stores continued to be very productive, and many of the members saved considerable sums of money. In the next year, a bonus of three and a half per cent, was divided. But difficulties were in store. The coal famine continued. The employers of labour held meetings to resist the successive advances of wages, and to counteract the operations of the trades unions.

白话
煤炭短缺开始影响炼铁工人,炉子常因缺煤停火。缺煤主因是工时缩短、工资却更高。但1871年公司仍按工资发了3.25%的奖金。合作商店很红火,不少成员存下不少钱。第二年又分了3.5%的奖金。可麻烦还在后头:煤荒持续,雇主们开会抵制工资连续上涨,并想抵消工会的影响。
