“This book is an outspoken word for the capitalistic system and against the methods of organized labor. Chancellor Day has been speaking with strong conviction on the somewhat unpopular side of this controversy. He displays the abuses in the trades union. He calls the labor union ‘an artificial and unnaturally and illogically attached institution in our country, working not for the common good but to create conditions altogether possible and profitable to its own members without regard to how its act may bear upon business of construction and manufacture.’ Chancellor Day calls collective bargaining ‘meddling’ and says: ‘It is high time that the country pronounced with unmistakable law against strikes of all kinds. There should be no doubt left that strikes are crimes.’”—Bib World
“Full of ‘ginger’ and worthy of attention by everyone who is ready to consider both sides of the burning question of the day. He does not represent the honorable attitude in the contest that will finally make for peace. He is violent and bitter. He is absolutely unjust to the majority of the immigrants who land on our shores.”

“The readers of this book will find in it much repetition and too much vehemence. It provides in places quite as much heat as light, and is not without a touch here and there of a rather narrow type of politics. There is not great use made in it of the mantle of sweet charity, and small allowance appears for those with whom the author disagrees. Yet with his attacks upon radicalism in its Red form we must sympathize.” W: C. Redfield

“It would be difficult to find a volume more filled with hatred and misunderstanding than this product of the chancellor of Syracuse university.” W. L. C.
