Labor and industry leaders are shown at work on a proposed "peace charter" to govern relations between workers and management once wartime production gave way to a peacetime economy. The April 1945 date places the effort in the final months of World War II, when officials and employers were already worried about strikes, layoffs, and the conversion of factories from tanks and aircraft back to civilian goods. During the war, unions had largely accepted a no-strike pledge in exchange for government mediation through the War Labor Board, so how the two sides would bargain after the fighting ended was a pressing question. The caption information for this Harris & Ewing photoprint is unverified, so the exact participants and the outcome of the talks are not confirmed here.
