In the upper righthand corner, three beef trust men stand under an “immune” sign and hold a paper that reads, “Judge Humphreys—you can go scott free.” In the main cartoon, President Roosevelt has a “report on packing houses” on his desk as three “beef trust” men grovel at his desk. A “square deal publicity” big stick leans against the desk. Caption: (The packers who smiled over Judge Humphreys’ ruling in March now have something else to think about.”
