SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER Introduces Captain
Amos Williams, president of the Latin
American Steamship company, in very
bad humor over threatened strike of
his dock laborers. Joseph Brooks, UNI
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 bandbox apartment, but he is bit
ter against his employer and also against
his wife's mother and sister, who dislike
him on account Of his inability to gain
position. In his desperation he turns on
his wife and suggests that she must re-
greet her choice of him when she might
have had Smith, who had offered him
self. IV-Smith. who is the intimate
friend Of the family, makes his appear
ance on the scene, and Brooks continues
his bitter arraignment of his employer
and violent protest against his own i'm
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 scene, accusing Williams OF
being the cause of his unhappiness. Mrs.
Brooks reminds her husband of his
breach of hospitality, and he apologies
and leaves the house. VI-When Brooks
returns he astonishes his wife and Smith
by inviting them to 60 to the theater.
Brooks extracts $40 from roll of money
collected for the company. VII-Smith
prevents strike. VIII-Williams and
Smith 60 to South America, and the
Brookes' prospects improve. Brooks
tells his wife that he has been promoted
and money Is plentiful. The couple
move into an expensive apartment hotel
and Mrs. Harris ceases to reproach them
for their poverty. IX-Smith makes
his appearance suddenly and informs
Brooks that Williams knows OF his dis.
honesty and that the going to South
America was only scheme to entrap
him and that he is Swallowed by detec-
tives.

served and that they would give their
support to a body OF men able and

preservation

But there are good economic rea-
