Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A cold wind blows on Public as he stands next to a pile of coal representing the nations supply. A sign on the coal says that the supply is frozen and will be rationed to crucial industries and services such as utilities and hospitals, and to domestic consumers with less than 10 days supply. Lewis is visible through the window of a house, where he is sitting in an armchair reading about Trumans trip to Florida. He is fanning himself with a paper fan and has an electric fan on as well. In the background, Uncle Sam nails a sign up on a building at a coal mine asking workers in government-operated mines not to strike.
Lewis, John L. (John Llewellyn), 1880-1969; Uncle Sam (Symbolic Character)
