He is called an agitator in the copper mining camps of Arizona. The story tells of Litle Tims experience in the Carbon county, Utah, coal mines, before and after they were unionized. Little Tim has experiences with jealous labor leaders and rival labor organizations. The story bares the hypocrisy of politicians, and rottenness of political party bosses. Ever fighting for democracy and against dictatorship in industry, politics, and labor unions, Little Tim meets with obstacles and is overcome temporarily by defeats, to rise again to fight until at last he sees a day of victory for the ideals and principles he has upheld, fought for and suffered for during his years of activity in behalf of humanity.
