"In Austria," the Archduke was explaining, "we have forests full of game, and hundreds of beaters who drive the animals toward the hunters such as myself who are waiting to shoot them."

Having lived in a capitalist system my entire life, I can see why the Archduke thinks hunting people will be something easily accomplished in America. This statement about the way he hunts in Austria may as well be an analogy about capitalism, the beaters being the capitalists and industrialists driving the labor force toward the poverty, incarceration, or death by police. America is full of labor so why not treat them as expendable? Especially since it would be a loss of significant profit to treat them any differently. And if they disagree with the way they're being treated, well, they can be driven out because the forest is full of replacement workers desperate enough, due to low wages and ill treatment of workers, to accept the job in your place. And if you're driven from the labor force because you're an "agitator," you're of no use to anybody and may as well be shot by the cops as an anarchist.
Or maybe this is just an example of how lazy the rich are and how, when they hunt, they just want to stand there and wait for the game to come to them. That's a good capitalist analogy too! I suppose the Archduke wants Lew to know that he doesn't want to run around Chicago shooting Hungarians; he wants Lew to run around driving Hungarians into Ferdinand's rifle's sights.
