Abstract:
Print shows a captialist seated at a table with a trade union worker. On the table near the capitalist is an open box labelled "cheap labor" out of which has popped a crudely stereotyped figure of a Asian man holding a pair of shoes; near the worker is a ballot box. Signs hang behind the figures, reading, left to right, "Manufacturer's Union," "The National Game will open immediately - Capital vs. Labor," and "Trades Union Knights of St. Crispin."
