Cartoon, The Strike -- Hitting Him Hard -- Ah, Bill! I was afraid what your Union would end in. A mason who joined a trade union (left) and went on strike for better conditions has lost his income and lost his work. Left destitute, he is living in the workhouse. A healthy-looking non-union workman (right) feels sorry for him and puts a coin into his hand.
