_By I. K. Friedman_
Mr. Friedman has chosen a great theme for his new novel, one which
affords a wealth of color and a wide field for bold delineation. It is a
story of the steel-workers which introduces the reader to various and
little-known aspects of those toiling lives. In the course of the work
occurs a vivid description of a great strike. The author, however, shows
no tinge of prejudice, but depicts a bitter labor struggle with
admirable impartiality. Along with the portrayal of some of man’s worst
passions is that of his best, his affection for woman, forming a
love-story which softens the stern picture. The book will appeal to
students of industrial tendencies, as well as to every lover of good
fiction. (12mo, $1.50.)
