LOCKOUT, by Leon Wolff. The bitter story of the Homestead Strike in 1892, in which workers struck against the lethal working conditions at Andrew Carnegie's steel mill. Henry Clay Frick, Carnegie's second-in-command, retaliated with a hired army of Pinkerton men; in four months, 35 were killed, 400 injured.

DREISER, by W. A. Swanberg. A crude, naive, natural writer, Dreiser was the founder and embodiment of the realistic school of writing that shocked the country in the first decades of this century. His life, like his work, was stubborn, untidy and wayward. Biographer Swanberg (Citizen Hearst) has made the most of it.

I WILL TRY, by Legson Kayira. Determined to get a U.S. education even if he had to walk there, the author, a young African from the Malawi Republic, actually trekked some 800 miles of the way toward fulfilling his dream.
