| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt remonstrating with three Spanish bullfighters (labeled "Lewis," "Murray," and "Kennedy") who are brandishing their cloaks at a smiling bull, labeled "Anti-Strike Legislation," who is placidly eating flowers labeled "Social Gains." Ferdinand was the gentle bull in the famous children's book by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson, who preferred smelling flowers to bullfighting. In 1941, strikes threatened the government's national defense building efforts. In November, Roosevelt called CIO president Philip Murray and United Mine Workers leaders, John L. Lewis and Thomas Kennedy, to the White House to try to settle a threatened coal strike. Berryman suggests that threats to pass anti-strike legislation will have little effect. |
