    Description
    Editorial cartoon split in to three panels, each one showing a possible consequence of the impending railroad strike. In the top panel, Uncle Same driving a truck labeled "U.S. Business Conditions" and a truck labeled "Winter" stopped on the road by detour signs with the railroad strike causing the disruption and need for a detour. In the middle panel, a man representing the United States is in bed sick and resting while the doctor tells him he should be fine as long as no complications set in; running towards the house is a boy with a newspaper proclaiming the railroad strike. In the bottom panel, striking railroad workers stand around a train which is carrying relief for workers suffering from armament competitions.
