About This Item
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1937. Hardcover. 329p., first edition, heavily chipped and worn dust jacket. *Prestridge 91. Hanna 1917. "A novel with no redeeming qualities. Strikers speak in a jargon straight out of the author's own head and are all stupid, lazy, malicious, coarse, brutal, greedy and spiteful. The shoe company officials are crisp, decisive, disciplined, penetrating. The company men announce their goals as 'ferreting out the dissatisfaction and arranging to stifle, distract, squash or kill it.' Violent scenes are described in loving and sickening detail." *Fay M. Blake, The strike in the American novel, p. 261. Jeter, a reporter in Jack Conroy's home town of Moberly, Missouri based the novel on a local shoe factory strike. Jeter had a couple of times in the local paper red-baited Conroy, but was still upset when Conroy gave a bad review to the novel.
