"A story of the Illinois coal region; being the history of a man who, having himself come up from the miner's pick, having the profoundest sympathy for the men, the union, and all it stands for and has done for labour, yet single-handed and alone, successfully withstood the encroachments of the Mine Workers' Union, and the unjust demands of its leaders."
