From the dust jacket, "Wellington Roe...has chosen as his background the Connecticut hatting industry - an industry which exemplifes the seasonal layoff and other ills of the modern system and one which he kows at first hand. However, unscrupulous self-interested leaders in Manufacturers' Associations, professional labor organizers, honest but bewildered working men, and decent, fairminded factory owners caught beteeen the warring factions are to be found in every city."
Two reviews of the book are attached.
Wellington Roe was a Progressive author and unsuccessful congressional candidate of the American Labor Party. He was born in Danbury in 1898 and lived at 38 (rear) Jefferson Avenue as a child.
