| Description | World War II cartoon shows labor leaders Philip Murray and William Green as nurses, pointing out an empty hospital bed to President Roosevelt (shown as a doctor). Murray expostualtes, "He wouldn't take his medicine, Doctor!" while Green cries "He even threw the bottle at us -- and look at his fever chart!" A sign on the door reads "U.S. Congress, No Visitors," while a bottle labeled "Veto Message" lies overturned on the floor. By 1943, public outrage over strikes in the war-related industries resulted in the passage of the Smith-Connally War Disputes Act which cut back some of the traditional rights of labor. Roosevelt vetoed the bill, but Congress overrode the veto. Berryman, one of those who viewed strikes during wartime as unpatriotic, applauded the Congressional action. |
