NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 24-La-
Dor is not the most powerful group
in the United States. There are
about Ia million "laborers" in this
country compared to 125 million con-
sumers. This year we have seen less
than a million workers raise havoc
by their strikes. Think what would
happen if 125 million consumers
should go on strike! Some day this
great mass of consumers may awak-
en- with the wrath and power of
a sleeping monster. Already there
are signs that consumer conscious
ness is growing. Resistance to the
rising cost of living becomes more
evident as each Gay passes.
Since 1888 living costs have in
creased 10 per cent. Housing led
the advance with a gain of 81 per
cent; food is second with an in
crease of 20 per cent; and clothing
up IA per CENTS third. The first
indication of organized resistance
by consumers has been in rents.
Readers will recall that in Ohio
and Michigan renters went on strike
last Spring at the height of the CIO
fracas. They refused to pay rent
until landlords met their demands.
Although this first strike made lit
tie headway, it was a straw in the
wind. High building costs and ris-
ing rents have caught the house
holder in a "croSs-ruff" he
does not like it.
Steaks Like Caviar
Most food items have had a good
mark-up since 1888; but meats have
really gone through the roof. Their
rise approXimates rs per cent. Pork
chops at Al cents a pound-up 100
per cent-and sirloin steak at so
cents pound-up 70 per cent
are in the class of rare delicacies! !!
Most families cannot afford to buy
them; while many who can afford
to buy refuse to do SO because the
price is out of line with other
foods. Filet of sole, lamb croquettes
and roast chicken are getting the
call over pot roasts and baked ham
Personally, the high price of meat
makes no difference to me as I am
a vegetarian; but most people are
not so senSiblel
Another example of the growing
resistance to higher prices is in

actress; she has had a husband and
a lover. Still young, still beautiful,
she feels that reality, in any personal
sense, has escaped her. She broods
over the situation and reaches back
INTO her past to see if she can find
the place where she left the true
course of her destiny. But without
success. She seems to be about to
descend into spiritual bankruptcy
When she meets young playwright,
and, by throwing herself into a role
which he has created, achieves at
last sense Of power One gathers
that she is able to give life to the
role because she finds herself as an
artist. That seems to be about all
OF it.
The book is written with an &C
complished smoothness, but the re-
viewer could not escape the feeling
that 1t was, essentially, about MOTH
ing. The young woman is never in
teresting, and her problem seems al
ways more important to her than she
herself could be to any one. The
worship which her husband and lover
accord her is hard to accept on the
basis of the vague personality with
which Miss Herdman endoWs her
And when, with great suddenneSs, IN
the last two pages, she solves her
problem, the reaction of the reader is
apt to be, who careS?" 1t is a
piece of earnest research, but its sub
Ject Is soul without strength or

next novel Miss Herdman will use
her gift for psychological analysis on
