  • TRUMAN CHANGES HIS STANCE ON LABOR AND IS ELECTED IN 1948
    Jul. 01, 2021

    TRUMAN CHANGES HIS STANCE ON LABOR AND IS ELECTED IN 1948

    Est: $300 - $500

    William "Bill" Crawford (1913-1982) was an American editorial cartoonist. In 1939, Crawford joined the Newark News as an editorial cartoonist and his cartoons were distributed to more than 700 daily newspapers by the Newspaper Enterprise Association. Political cartoon art titled "A Nimble Fellow Harry" depicts President Truman, cuddling a frightened man named Labor, while leaping from the "1946 Get Tough Policy" to the "'48 I Love You Truly Policy". In August 1945, Truman announced that he would maintain price controls but that unions could pursue higher wages. Beginning in late 1945 and lasting throughout 1946, a wave of strikes hit the steel, coal, auto, and railroad industries, debilitating key sectors of the American economy and stifling production of certain consumer goods. Truman remained steadfast in the face of labor's demands. To end the strikes and restore industrial peace, he recommended compulsory mediation and arbitration, warned that the U.S. government would draft striking railroad workers, and even took a union-the United Mine Workers-to court. By September of 1946, Truman's popularity rating had sunk to 32 percent.
