...there was a suggestion of a smirk on John Lewis' big face when he congratulated the miners for helping re-elect "the only President in our lifetime who has tried to give a square deal to the common people of this country." The President's regrets to the miners' convention in 1936 began "My Dear President Lewis;" fortnight ago it began "My dear John," but John Lewis has been something less than an enthusiastic Roosevelt admirer for nearly a year, has made no bones about his dissatisfaction with the President's handling of Recession...
