While Zola's working-men are all natives of France, one meets in Sinclair's book a motley variety of European emigrants, speaking a Babel of languages and therefore debarred from forming some sort of association to protect themselves against being exploited by the anony mous limited Company. Notwithstanding this natural bar against united action on the part of the wage-earning slaves, the Company feels far from at ease and jealously guards its interests against any attempt of organising the men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the Publisher \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
