Details |
Cartoon, So Just! -- Just So! A satirical comment on Benjamin Disraeli apparently managing to use common sense to balance Labour and Capital, and put an end to destructive industrial action. He is depicted as a female Justice figure, holding scales, with a rolled-up Speech in place of the usual sword. There had been problems with finance and with labour relations, but new legislation was going through parliament to improve working conditions and reduce working hours, resulting in a Factory Act.
