EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing illustration, titled 'The Little End of the Horn,' was published in Puck magazine on July 30, 1913. The image depicts a large ear trumpet or horn labeled "Railroad Earnings," from which five men identified as a Baggage Man, Fireman, Engineer, Trainman, and Conductor are exiting, each carrying heavy sacks labeled "Increased Wages" on their shoulders. Emerging from the smaller opening at the other end of the horn is a man identified as a Stockholder, clutching a paper that reads "Decreased Dividend." The cartoon satirically represents the idea that the hard work and labor of railroad employees directly contribute to the profits of the railroad industry, while the stockholders reap the financial rewards. The men exiting the large opening symbolize the tangible benefits of their labor, while the stockholder represents the intangible financial gains. The title "The Little End of the Horn" likely refers to the idea that the stockholders, despite their small role in the railroad's operations, receive a disproportionately large share of the profits. This illustration provides a glimpse into the economic dynamics of the early 20th century railroad industry and the tensions between labor and capital. It also highlights the role of satirical magazines like Puck in shaping public opinion and engaging in social commentary.
