“Law and Order in Lawrence.”
A giant police officer, labeled "The Lawrence Way," crushes women and children under his feet as he swings his bloody club at them. On one side of the illustration Lawrence, MA is shown and labeled “The hunger city. Dividends for mill owners - starvation wages for workers.” On the opposite side a woman named Sympathy says “Let the children come” as she stands over a place labeled “Homes of the workers of other cities.”
