During the Coal Miner Strike, the United Mine Workers of America fought and demanded for higher wages, lower workdays and the recognition of their unions. In the political cartoon, Theodore Roosevelt is threatening the Robber Barrons (J.P. Morgan, George Baer, John Mitchell, and Caroll D. Wright.) This strike of the miners eventually led to the Adamson Act in which it granted the workers 8 hours or workhour everyday.
In the political cartoon, Theodore Roosevelt is grabbing and fighting the bull directly by hand. The bull has been written "R.R. Trust" on its body. Theodore Roosevelt is fighting directly the Railroad trusts. He wanted to regulate the railroad trust since the railroad had a huge monopoly over the railroad. The railroad companies set high polls for people who wanted to use the railroad.
Theodore Roosevelt worked on establishing National reserves and National Parks in order to protect and maintain the natural sites from damaging. As a conservationist, he shows his love for the American land and he wanted to leave this great phenomenon to their descendants to have for their future time to enjoy the goodness.
