New Book by Sinclair.

New York, March 21.-Upton Sin
clair's latest book. Samuel the Seek
er" vas published today by a New
York house. The author of The Jul
agle" has abandoned the field OF
undertaking, but the novel is decided
ly socialistic and embodies the Sim
clair ideas of the relations between
capital and labor. These are that the
employer seeks ever to grind down
the wages of ais worknen, while the
enploye naturally demands more pay.
with the result that industrial peace
is impossible and the warfare must
continue until the dawning Of the glo-
rious day which will usher In the Co
operative commonwealth. 4
