Scope and content

Cartoon shows a man standing in front of two drawings, one of a railwayman and one of a miner - both are labelled as such. The man is wearing glasses and pointing to the drawings using a pointer. On his waistcoat are written the letter "NUR" [which most likely stands for the National Union of Railwaymen].

[Background info: cartoon may refer to the miner's strike of 1974 where the leadership of the National Union of Miners tried to gather support from various transport worker's unions - including the NUR - in order to ensure that not only was the production of coal ceased, but also its distribution. The man in the cartoon may be Mick McGahey, leader ot the National Miner's Union at the time.]
