Summary
Bradley depicts the commission's view of the situation by showing numerous train lines riding towards a giant head of Harriman. His mouth, wide open as if to form a tunnel, is about to swallow the various railways.
A sign to the left pointing in the direction of the railroad magnate reads, "United States [States has a line going through it] Harriman Railroads."

From 1906-07 the holdings and business practices of railroad administrator and financier Edward Henry Harriman, became the focus of an investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The committee charged that Harriman's use of Union Pacific resources (the company of which he was president since 1903) to invest in the stocks, bonds, and securities of competing railways, was an unlawful attempt to squelch competition and gain control of the market.
