Label TextDuring a strike of shirtwaist makers, many young female workers were arrested for picketing the shops. Sloan made this cartoon--showing prostitutes gathered on the sidewalk with their clients--in response. This, he asserted, was "picketing" that the police permitted. Sloan's cartoon appeared in the New York Call. He noted in his diary that the original drawing and "the cut" (probably this working proof) were returned to him by editors at the Call.
