Hardcover. 329p., first edition, spine sloped, paper slightly toned else good condition lacking the jacket. *Prestridge 91. Hanna 1917. "A novel with no redeeming qualities. Strikers speak in a jargon straight out of the author's own head and are all stupid, lazy, malicious, coarse, brutal, greedy and spiteful. The shoe company officials are crisp, decisive, disciplined, penetrating. The company men announce their goals as 'ferreting out the dissatisfaction and arranging to stifle, distract, squash or kill it.' Violent scenes are described in loving and sickening detail." *Fay M. Blake, The strike in the American novel, p. 261. Jeter, a reporter in Jack Conroy's home town of Moberly, Missouri based the novel on a local shoe factory strike. Jeter had a couple of times in the local paper red-baited Conroy, but was still upset when Conroy gave a bad review to the novel.

Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. Jeter, Goetze. THE STRIKERS. New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1937. First Edition. 8vo., 329pp. Publisher's brick red rough linen lettered in dark blue, brick topstain, yellow endpapers. A near fine or better example in a superb Art Deco dustwrapper with factory smokestacks in orange, black & grey. THE STRIKERS is a Rideout style novel [unrecorded by Rideout] which is about a labour strike at a shoe factory. "It is no red doctrine - no capitalist propaganda - it is life itself. The pattern of existance woven by the men and women whose inividualities never break through to the (newspaper) headlines." - Dustwrapper blurb. "A story cross sectioning the lives of factory workers on strike. Probably not in a southern town, though the town is not identifiable. Shifting pictures of behind the scene in the lives of the men, whose gesture towards defiance is stalemated by the employers closing down the plant and departing. Too much on the sentimental side to class with usual proletarian literature, and in the main against the strike makers. More human interest than propaganda. Recalls in tempo, Leane Zugsmith's A Time To Remember, which told the story of a department store strike" - Kirkus. A superior example in excellent classic dustwrapper.
