At top, a laborer daydreams he has the ears of a mule and carries a banner that states, “Strike! No Surrender! Down with Capital!” He is being led over barricades by a “Walking Delegate” who gestures toward a laborer standing with one foot on a prostrate industrialist. At the bottom is depicted the reality of an unemployed laborer’s waking life of familial discord, though he still has the ears of a mule. Caption: Same old day-dream. Same old awakening.
