Dave: Will much appreciate your adding this to my launch:
Helen is not the main character; it is the mill, in this small town in the first half of the 20th century. This is a story of labor strife, class
inequity and warfare, poverty and wealth, socialism vs. capitalism, and love and hatred. It centers on two families; each family
includes a father and a son and a daughter. In their childhood years, they were all very close. Over time, Helen ‘s family becomes
very wealthy, the other family less so. By questionable means, Helen’s father becomes the owner of the mill. He represents
corporate greed at its worst. A labor organizer named Jake Vodell creates major strife. He is described as a communist and a
“foreigner”. A central character is an old, injured and retired worker called the Interpreter. He attempts to make the town realize that
the real enemy is neither labor nor capital; it is the extremes of capital greed and labor socialism. Such class conflict is a major
backdrop in most of Harold Bell Wright’s novels. He was a best selling author of his time. His books show how much progress we
have made in technology; human behavior seems little changed

A question: When the Project Gutenberg text has clear errors, should we voice the error or should we correct the error? For example, in about paragraph 11 (sorry I don't have the recording in front of me) the text reads "...returning home from a meeting of their union laid one evening...". Clearly, it should read "LATE one evening..."
