Unfortunately the tactics of the workers are becoming such as to alienate at the start that very public sympathy on which Labor, as Capital, must in the long run depend for success. Against a legitimate strike coupled with sincere efforts for mediation, no just resentment can be aroused. But when, as in the present case, it becomes increasingly evident that the unions are permitting themselves to be led by Communists and other discredited radicals intent only on fomenting trouble, the antagonism of the general public is inevitably aroused. Between the upper and nether millstones of mob violence and popular antipathy...
Despite the fact that the number of men leaving the Houses this year is slightly smaller than in the last two years, an annual exodus is ample evidence that the House Plan has some undesirable aspects.

Robinson, a fellow inmate of the war hospital who appears intermittently throughout the book seems simply a variation of Bardamn himself, one whose moral sense and self-respect have mired deeper and deeper in futility, filth, and fear. The others leave little personality impression behind them. The translation by Mr. Marks is excellent...
