Lewis as he appeared at a press conference con-ference before a truce brought an end to a strike of 53,000 miners in the nation's "captive" coal mines. When the picture was taken Lewis declared de-clared he was telling President Roosevelt "no" In response to a White House request for a settlement of the dispute.
