Summary: A group of idle men, identified by a banner as the 'I Won't Workers,' stand up to their knees in snow in front of a large snow bank in which several shovels are stuck. A sign stuck into the snow bank reveals that the men want two dollars a day for shoveling and extra pay for overtime. One man raises his fist.

The image relates to a series of incidents that occurred in March, 1914 when members of the radical labor union, The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), began breaking into churches in New York City, demanding they be given food and shelter. The public, outraged at their actions, called the IWW a bunch of lazy men who would not work even if they could. Public indignation became even greater when the city offered snow shoveling jobs to the unemployed which were refused because the men insisted they be paid at least two dollars a day.
