| Description | Cartoon shows the black silhouetted head of labor leader John L. Lewis partly superimposed on the head of Uncle Sam, much as the moon blocks out the sun during an eclipse. The dim out was the dimming of lights along the East Coast during World War II to prevent the silhouetting of ships to make them harder for German submarines to sight. In 1946, Lewis defied a court injunction and ordered his coal miners to strike. The cartoonist suggests that the importance of coal is such that the country cannot allow his strike to s쳮d. |
