  One sign reads "Ettor and Giovannitti must be released"

  sobotka beat me to it! I was going to mention the sign as well. What a fascinating frozen moment in time. I wonder if this was a demonstration in support of the Lawrence Textile Strike or if this was afterwards when they (Ettor and Giovannetti) were still jailed. Must be sometime in 1912.

  May 1st, 1912 - the picture is dated at the top.
  
  5/1 is also a traditional day for socialist marches, even today.
