CHAPTER I-Introduces Captain
Amos Williams, president of the Latin
American Steamship company, in very
bad humOr over threatened strike of
his dock laborers. Joseph Brooks, un-
derpaid accountant and collector for
Williams, expresses his sympathy for the
strikers and is ridiculed by his fellow
clerks. 1.-THE president sends for
James Smith, superintendent of the
campany's docks. and instructs him to
spare no expense in crushing the strik-
ers. Smith advises pacific measures, but
is overruled and prepares to obey orders.
III-Mrs. Emma Brooks, the handsome
young wife of the discontinued clerk,
tries to encourage him on his return to
their handbook apartment, but he is bit
| ter against his employer and also against
his wife's mother and sister, who dislike
him Oh account of his inability to gain
position. In his desperation he turns on
his wife and suggests that she must re-
\ gret her choice of him when she might
n lave had Smith, who had offered him
self. IV-Smith. who is the intimate
friend of the family, makes his appear
ance OH the scene, and Brooks continues
his bitter arraignment of his employer
and violent protest against his own inn
poverished condition. The discussion
becomes rather personal, and Brooks
| takes his hat and leaves the premises.
V-Accompanied by Captain Williams,
| who is an old friend of the family, Mrs.
Harris and her daughter, Beth, mother
and sister of Mrs. Brooks, enter the
room. During the visit Brooks returns
and makes a scene, accusing Williams OF
being the cause of his unhappiness. Mrs
'Brooks reminds her husband of his
breach of hospitality, and lie apologies
and leaves the house. NI-When Brooks
returns he astonishes his wife and Smith
by inviting them to go to the theater.
Brooks extracts $40 from roll of money
