| Description | Cartoon shows a huge angry twelve-headed worker (labeled "Labor Problems"), carrying a pickax, threatening a startled President Roosevelt, who drops his own club in surprise. The caption refers to the nine-headed Hydra killed by the Greek hero Hercules as one of his "twelve labors." During the Depression, Roosevelt had to deal with the turbulence of the labor unions who had gained new power as a result of New Deal programs. |
