EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a significant moment in American history - the meeting between labor and business leaders at the White House in 1938. The image showcases a group of influential figures leaving the historic building after their discussion with President Franklin Roosevelt. Walking side by side, these men represent different sectors of society, united by their shared goal of advancing workers' rights and improving labor conditions. From left to right, we see Diplomat Adolf Augustus Berle, whose expertise in international affairs played a crucial role in shaping policies during this era. Next is Philip Murray, an esteemed labor leader who dedicated his life to fighting for fair wages and better working conditions for all employees. John L. Lewis follows closely behind; as head of the United Mine Workers union, he was instrumental in organizing strikes that led to significant improvements within the coal industry. Owen D. Young, representing General Electric Company as its director, stands tall among these influential figures. His presence signifies the importance of collaboration between business leaders and labor unions for achieving progress. Finally, Thomas W. Lamont concludes this distinguished lineup as a partner at J. P Morgan - symbolizing how even powerful financial institutions recognized the need for social reforms during this transformative period known as the New Deal. This photograph serves as a reminder of how individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to shape positive change and highlights an important chapter in America's labor movement history.
