Lowell, Mass. - strikers before MERRIMACK MILL (LOC)

  This is the March - April, 1912 Lowell strike -- same strike as the photo of Big Bill Haywood with young strikers. The dispute began in the Merrimack's Number 1 weave room on March 25 and then spread to Lowell's other cotton mills as a strike and lockout. The workers might be picketing but they also might be showing up for their pay .
