In Chicago he framed a platform for more and better democracy, but in Omaha the Ak Sar Ben crowd was sparse as Democratic pressure to promote his visit faded.

Mine Talks: New Demands Complicate Coal Contract Talks
John L. Lewis presses for welfare guarantees before accepting a 1948-49 pact with Southern Coal Producers. An injunction forces bargaining, but talks remain fruitless as Lewis labels operators fat cats and warns of more strikes.
