| Description | World War II cartoon shows a smiling President Roosevelt looking on as CIO President Philip Murray, shown as a blacksmith, hammers a piece of steel (labeled "Little Steel Formula") on an anvil with a hammer labeled "Labor Vote." The hearth is labeled "Practical Politics." Murray says, "This seems like a good time to reshape this gadget." The CIO and its Political Action Committee enthusiastically endorsed Roosevelt's campaign for a fourth term as president. On Labor Day, Murray again called for a revision of the "Little Steel Formula" which put limits on increases in wages while the war was on. Berryman suggests that he is using this endorsement to put pressure on the president to support a change in wage policy. |
