Description
An
original
political
cartoon
drawing
created
by
Jack
Knox
, the
Nashville
Banner
editorial
cartoonist
from the
mid-1940s
to
early
1970s
. This
particular
cartoon
was
probably
created
during
his
eleven-year
career
with the
Memphis
Commercial
Appeal
. In the
cartoon
,
President
Franklin
D
.
Roosevelt
is
depicted
as a
man
in a
wagon
cracking
a
whip
("Efforts
to
whip
us
up
on
foreign
issues")
over
the
horse
("US")
. In the
wagon
,
Uncle
Sam
looks
astonished
to
notice
two
men
trying
to
stop
the
wagon
("Congress
just
going
along
for the
ride?")
. The
men
holding
the
wheels
are a
U.S
.
Congressman
and the
isolationist
labor
leader
John
L
.
Lewis
("Non-defense
pork
" and "
strike
problems")
. The
Roosevelt-Lewis
relationship
deteriorated
soon
after
the
General
Motors
and
Little
Steel
strikes
of
1937
.
Later
,
during
the
middle
of
World
War
II
,
Lewis
,
president
of the
United
Mine
Workers
of
America
,
headed
the
1943
labor
strike
when
the
rest
of
labor
was
observing
a
policy
against
strikes
.
