Caption: The Tournament of Today -- A Set-To Between Labor and Monopoly

Source/Date: Puck, August 1, 1883

Ultimate Source(if different):

Creator: Friedrich Graetz

Remarks: Note that the symbol of monopoly is a locomotive. The lance is labeled subsidized press while labor's hammer is the strike. It looks like a pretty unequal contest but actual strikes would yield cartoons far less sympathetic to labor. Field, Vanderbilt and Gould are among the onlookers.

Keywords: Labor; Gould, Jay; Field, Cyrus; Vanderbilt, William.
