Kangaroo court at Swan Island

A man, wearing a fake beard, shakes his finger at other smiling men, during a kangaroo court at Kaiser’s Swan Island shipyard. The men in beards are standing behind a desk and holding hammers. Kangaroo courts took place to “prosecute” employees who didn’t comply with beard and whisker growing contests, with the fees collected later donated to various causes (negative 2 of 3).
