| Description | Cartoon shows United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis with a large coil of rope around his neck. The rope is the end of a huge coil labeled "No Contract, No Work, No Coal, No Patience, No United Mine Workers, No John L. Lewis." Uncle Sam looks on in disgust, saying "Well, John, you've got enough rope this time." Berryman's small signature bear watches in dismay. In 1943, after an extended strike, the government took over the coal mines. A tentative settlement was worked out, but in November, when Lewis threatened another strike, the government issued an injunction against him. Berryman, who felt that Lewis was nothing but a trouble maker, hopes that this time he has overstepped the bounds and has enough rope to hang himself. On this occasion, Lewis was defeated and the miners went back to work. |
