Description: Cartoon making fun of Liberal MPs who voted for the Labour Party's Unemployed Workmens Bill of 1908, which failed to be passed into law on March 13. George Whiteley MP, the Liberal Party whip "publicly rebuked those of his party who voted for it... they seemed to think, he said, that they were entitled to philander and flirt with certain elements of socialism.".
