By mail, $1.63 A book written in a simple, untechnical, and very im- partial fashion, and one that is full of very valuable sug- gestions affecting our owti labor troubles. '■ . . . Useful and timely. . . . Mr. Clark will perhaps di.'sap- point alike the extreme radicals who regard Australasia as a work- men's paradise and grow enthusiastic over the progress made there by socialism, and those other extremists who like to be told that Australasia is doomed to bankruptcy and famine and demoraliza- tion as the result of socialism and the violation of 'natural law'. He writes judiciously and fairly, and indulges in no extravagant prophecies of either sort. . . . The book is very valuable for its facts and the impartiality with which they, and the conditions to which they are due, are presented." — Chicago Evening Post.

"A deeply interesting story. . . . An exceedingly readable vol- ume." — Boston Transcript. Henry Holt and Company 34 W. 33D Street <ni- '""^ New Vokk
