Driver, John Merritte. Samson and Shylock; or, A Preacher’s Plea for the Workingmen, Himself a Day Laborer. Chicago: Patriotic Publishing Co., 1891. xii, 271 p.

Notes

A pastor’s plea for the eight-hour work day and labor solidarity coupled with scorn for the industrial trusts, thieving robber barons, and "shylockian" employers. See pp. 101, 110, 164 for pairings of Judas with Shylock; see p. 201 for Jewish emancipation from Egyptian bondage.
