| Description | World War II cartoon shows a dejected working man (labeled "Labor under the Axis") in chains, sitting on a stool. Around him lie torn sheets of paper reading "Rights of Labor," "Social Legislation," and "Trade Union Charters." Labor agitation of any kind was harshly suppressed in the countries controlled by the Axis powers after the start of the war. In the United States, despite President Roosevelt's efforts to make rearmament a top priority, strikes continued to plague the nation. Berryman suggests U. S. labor leaders should by warned by the plight of those workers who have fallen under Axis domination. |
