189234668Baltimore: Shaw Bros. Print 1892. First Edition. Small 12mo 15.5cm.; publisher's olive printed wrappers; 19pp. Previous owner has stitched the wrappers to textblock though the upper cover has since separated the stock rather brittle from age and poor quality with a few tiny chips and shallow losses along extremities. Still a Good unfaded copy contents in fine condition. Paper read by the Warden of the Western State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. This printed version appears to be unrecorded though we do find mention of it in an issue of The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy from the same year. Wright blames the increase in crime in the United States to the arrival of "unworthy and undesirable immigrants" and argues that the answer is "sterner and more repressive lines" in prison discipline as a deterrant. We find no copies in OCLC as of August 2017 nor in the NUC. Shaw Bros. Print unknown books

192014043Kansas City: Burton Publishing Co 1920. First Edition. Small octavo 19cm. Cloth boards lettered in red and black; 184pp. Presentation copy warmly inscribed on front endpaper to UMWA President John L. Lewis: "To John L. Lewis Esq / I am with you heart and soul in any honest effort to better the condition of the heroic hardies who work under ground / R.D. Kathrens" dated 1920. Light wear and soil to boards; presentation leaf has been tipped-on to a stub; a few marginal marks in text possibly in Lewis's hand; Very Good. Publishes a series of letters from the author to Charles Schwab who at this time was President of Bethlehem Steel seeking Schwab's support in implementing a sort of "maximum wage" scheme in the United States. Kathrens's letters grow increasingly indignant as Schwab steadfastly ignores his requests for the courtesy of a reply: ".it is hardly consistent with the civilities--as we understand them west of the Alleghenies--to shoo me away or send me to the back door or require me to deal with the servants." Kathrens professes his own sanity and good judgment frequently enough that our sympathies fall firmly on the side of Mr. Schwab. Includes a full reprint of Kathrens' earlier effort The Menace of the Millionaire and reprints other letters to and from Samuel Untermeyer and George W. Perkins. Burton Publishing Co unknown books
