# "The Great Unrest" and Related Humor This Judge page contains social satire about early 20th-century American life. "The Great Unrest" by Emmett Campbell Hall mocks labor discontent through a story about a mountain woman's husband suffering from "laziness"—satirizing contemporary anxieties about working-class complaints and strikes. The tourist's dismissal of the woman's concerns reflects period attitudes minimizing workers' grievances. The accompanying comic strips and humor columns ("Juggles," "Bubbles," "Old Joke, New Twist") offer light domestic and social humor typical of Judge's content—poking fun at gender relations, courtship, and urban encounters. The illustrations by H.B. Fellas and Paul Henley depict period clothing and social interactions. Overall, the page reflects Judge's role satirizing labor unrest and social change during an era of significant industrial conflict.
