This article presents the author's views on books written on the lives of workers and struggles. In the books a careful analysis of the Detroit auto workers' voting preferences in 1952 prove distasteful to the Cadillac trade. The three Wayne University social scientists who conducted the study described in When Labor Votes under a grant from the United Auto Workers did not confine themselves to asking union people how they voted, something already known to anyone scanning a precinct-by-precinct tabulation of the Detroit returns. Instead they tried to find out why unionists voted as they did. The probe went even deeper into how do union members feel toward their union, toward business.
