Description | Cartoon shows United Mineworkers president John L. Lewis, having laid down his pickaxe and shovel, donning his coat and preparing to leave, saying "We won't trespass!" The pickaxe, labeled "No New Contract, No Coal -- Lewis," leans against a huge block of coal. During the 1940's, Lewis defied the government by leading the mineworkers out in numerous strikes, earning the condemnation of many who viewed his actions as a failure to support the war effort. |
