The scene opens with Linp Waltar and his sister arriving in Albany with their mother to spend a day at a friend's elegant home. Alf enjoys a lengthy breakfast while the children chatter, Florence exclaims at the array of colors and fruits, and Walter retorts with a patronizing tease about gourmet cakes.

It promotes state action for workers, equal pay, arbitration, cooperative industry, and a national monetary system with government issue of money, while regulating imports and corporate power.
