The main text is a series of questions posed at working class readers beginning with "Why should you be treated as if you are social outcasts?". The background to the questions is the Intoxication Liquor Act of 1901 to limit Sunday opening of pubs and restrict their other opening times, stated to be "an insult to every labouring man" and a "tyranny of the worst kind" as it would penalise those on small incomes unable to store supplies of alcohol in a cellar. The Bill was principally intended to prevent overly intoxicated working men from sending their children to the pub to buy them more drink. The poster encourages readers to oppose the Bill and sign a petition against it. Unrecorded.
