While the committee tried to make up its mind, Commissioner Ewan Clague of the Bureau of Labor Statistics took a hard look at unemployment, which is now estimated at three million. He thought that the problem would not require federal action (e.g., public works projects) unless the total reached four to five million and was "sustained for some time." But he saw no sign of that now. The importance of the more-than-seasonal January slump, he said, cannot be gauged until the seasonal pickup in the spring. (The boom still had a good head of steam.

After surviving the two husbands of the earlier books, Chris has gone with her grown-up son Ewan to the industrial town of Duncairn. There she spends her days in drudgery as partner in a boarding house, while Ewan starts work at an iron foundry. Written in the same earthy dialect as its predecessors, Grey Granite is peopled with no less salty characters, but the sign of the restless times lies heavier...
...Ewan becomes an intellectual radical, but he fights shy of Communism until the police run him in and give him a taste of the third degree. He comes out of jail battered but unbowed, and believing coldly that force must fight force. A cooked goose in Duncairn, he goes from job to job, quarrels with his sweetheart when he finds that her socialism will not stand up against economic pressure, leaves home to go to London and fight for the Cause. Chris goes off to a cottage in the country to think life over...
