Labor leader Philip Murray prepares to carve a large chicken labeled "Wage increases," while a man labeled "Congress" enjoys a big bowl of peaches labeled "Farm Parity Prices." The president doles out one peach and a small piece of chicken to a little man labeled "Taxpayer," saying "And this is for you." The Roosevelt administration struggled to avoid inflation and curb rises in wages and prices, but powerful labor unions opposed wage controls and in July 1942, the farm bloc in Congress managed to pass a bill placing farm prices at 110% of parity. Berryman suggests that the American public will suffer. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1942 July 18. CREATOR: Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist.
