In the Oval Office of the White House, President Harry S. Truman (front-left) shakes hands with John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers. Secretary of the Interior, Julius Krug, shakes hands with John O'Leary. Vice Admiral Ben Moreell is in the background, center, and another unidentified man looks on, right.
