The Labor Movement in Australasia
By Dr. VICTOR S. CLARK of the Carnegie Institute, Washington. 327 pp. $1.50 net. By mail, $1.63
A book written in a simple, untechnical, and very impartial fashion, and one that is full of very valuable suggestions affecting our own labor troubles.
“ ... Useful and timely.... Mr. Clark will perhaps disappoint alike the extreme radicals who regard Australasia as a workmen’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 demoralization 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.
“Not being a doctrinaire, he has much of value to say.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

McPherson’s Railroad Freight Rates
In Their Relation to the Industry and Commerce of the United States.
By Logan G. McPherson, author of “The Working of the Railroads.” 8vo. With maps, tables, and a full index. $2.25 net, by mail. $2.42.
This study of the freight rate structure is so comprehensive and thorough as not only to be exceedingly valuable to anyone having to do with railroad freight traffic either as a railroad official or as a shipper, but it is also a most fascinating exposition for the general reader of a subject which has not hitherto received a popularly intelligible presentation. It offers to younger men the only means of knowing how the present freight rate system has been evolved.
“An exceedingly important book.... Not only the best existing account, but it is easily the best book on American railway traffic.... We have little hesitation in expressing the opinion that it will stand as the standard reference work for a good many years, and from the standpoint of public policy we are exceedingly glad that the book has been written. The country would be better governed if the legislator, state and national, had to pass an examination upon it before taking his oath of office.”—Railroad Age Gazette.
“A book the nation has needed.”—New York Sun.

“Invaluable. It gathers the floating fragments of railroad history, weaving a human interest into a coherent record of every day trials and triumphs. A human and personal document, not a dry historical treatise or a batch of anecdotes.”—Baltimore Sun.
“No book of adventure contains more exciting episodes or more varied interest. Every page is of live interest. So replete with curious information, thoroughly entertaining and instructive.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
