TOLD IN WHISPERS. scheme
for the solution of the labor problem is
presented in a book of 233 pages entitled
Told in Whispers" and is from the pen
of Leigh 81. Irvine. the author of The
Struggle for Bread" and oJher works that
treat of labor and capital. The scheme is
presented in the form of a novel, and in
the presentation of the story the author
has kept the hero and heroine in the lines
that have been laid down by writer's of
novels. One of the features of the book
is the treatment of mllionaires by the
members of the Cross of Blood Society
that waves the red flag of anarchy and
seeks to rule the United States by methods
peculiarly its own. These give one the
idea that the author in writing this por-
ton of the book must have done so imme-
diately after having come out of a night
mare produced by reading about the in
QUESTION of Spain and partaking of mid
night lunch Of Welsh rebits, pigs feet
and mince-pie. According to the author
the millionalres were taken into secret
chamber and In the most blood-curdling
manner were told of their wrongs to
society, after which they were placed
in case and by some process
turned into stone, and were then
placed in magnificent collins and sent to
their homes with smile of satisfaction on
each countenance. The purpose of the
book is given toward the elise and is the
action of the hero, who is elected mem
Der of Congress and who unfoldS plan to
relieve the wants of the idle working
people. 1t is that the Government shall
set apart certain portions of the territory
and establish colonies and then enlist
laborlng men Tor given number of years,
during which time all shall have work,
happy homes, food and clothing in plenty
and almost all that one could wish for.
And during the term of enlistment the
laborers would not have need for money,
as everything would be provided by their
own efforts, and there would be system
of exchange that would help every one
along. Then at the close of the enlistment
every one would have given him certain
sum OF money TO start In the world anew.
The book shows that the writer has given
a great deal Of attention to the great issues
in W hich capital aud labor are involved,
and that he has been close reader of what
all great writer's have offered on this
topic. What he has gathered by OBJ
servation and reading be has put in
this form. The ideas advanced by the
writer may serve with others in the same
line in forming the foundation for some
scheme to advance the position of those
WIZ uepenu on lneir daily labor Tor the
support of themselves and those who are
dear to them. New York: The Crown
