The Hand That Threatens Our Industrial Life
Poster featuring a cartoon illustration of a monumental hand reaching out of the clouds and down towards a town. The town includes an Army Camp, The Home, and The School, but the hand is reaching for an inset heart-shape filled with factories, which is labeled: "American Industry, The Heart of the Nation." The arm is labeled: "Strife" and the fingers are labeled: "Excessive Taxes, Unwise Laws, Disloyalty, Agitation, and Waste." A cartoon blackbird is commenting: "Co-operation is what is needed most." Poster text reads: "The Hand That Threatens Our Industrial Life. More than 32,000 American industrial plants have been placed at the disposal of the government to win this war. Their effectiveness must not be hampered by enemy agitators who cause bad feeling between wage-earners and wage payers. Every community is interested in promoting industrial prosperity." |
