Nobody else will do it

Subject(s): Big business, Tramps, Upper class

Two tramps dressed in cast-off and ill-fitting clothes discuss how to kill the “Trusts” through “Social Ostracism.” On the left is a well-dressed matronly woman wearing a robe labeled “The 400” and sitting on a throne. On the right is a man labeled “Trusts,” holding strings attached to businesses, as well as ships and railroads, in which the “Trusts” hold controlling interests. Caption: The Trusts have got to be ostracised, but who [is goin]g to do it? Society won[‘t and] Capital won’t, so there’s nobody to do it but us!
