Description | Illustration shows a traveling couple beset upon by every member of the service industry, coachmen, porters, maids, messengers, busboys, and cooks, for some amount of remuneration. The cartoonist equates this to the "hold-up" of a stagecoach taking place in the background on the upper left; in the upper right, the manager of the hotel tells his staff to extract payment from the guests in lieu of wages. |
