This image is descriptive of Americans during the roaring twenties.
In the upper right hand corners are two individuals who participated the Palmer raids during which potentially innocent individuals were captured and arrested for fear that they were communist.
To the immediate right are three individuals, one covering his eyes, one his mouth and one his ears and represents the aversion of the american people to take action or notice for that matter what was happening.
At the bottom right are a group of people, presumably immigrants being shoved off by a man who is presumably government to represent the quota system and its effect on immigration.
The men near bottom right and bottom center represent the amount of discontent had towards immigrants who were already in the US a situation that could be seen with the Sacco and Venzetti case.
The large individual in the center with tons of money is likely symbolic of the government and is shown stringing up people himself and could also symbolize the opression of immigrants.
The man in black under the large man's boot is presumably dead and covered up/ condoned by the goverment.
The bomb near the top center shows the fear of communist influence as bombs were used by ssuspected communists to cause real damage, ex: bombing of wall street.
The wimpy and lethargic looking individual in the upper left hand corner may represent how the american people just looked on as this happened.
