    Lincoln Steffens was addressing a workers' / IWW / anarchist / socialist / rally in Union Square, New York City, on April 11, 1914. The structure from which he is speaking was more a porch than a balcony. In this photo from May 2, 1914, it is used for a suffragette rally: Here is William Jennings Bryan, speaking from the same porch, April 30, 1912: A Bain/LOC photo, not yet posted to Flickr, shows the Union Square "cottage" on May 1, 1908, during a May Day Socialist rally: luirig.altervista.org/cpm/albums/bain-27/13401-Socialists... A New York Times story (May 3, 1914) about a woman suffrage rally in Union Square refers to the speakers' platform as "the porch of the cottage" --- query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F50D1EF9355D13...

  • Wystan said:
    LOC: you have misspelled both "Lincoln" and "Steffens" in your title.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Wystan and buckeye616: Thank you for your correction of the typo in the title and for the additional information on Lincoln Steffens. We will include some of it in the record for this image when we update.

  • Wystan said:
    Ardent Socialist and social reformer; author of the shocking bestseller, "The Jungle," (1906) a novel that exposed deplorable conditions in the meatpacking industry in Chicago. In 1914, the date of this photo, the movie version of "The Jungle" was released. Sinclair himself appeared at the beginning and end of the film. Born in Baltimore, Sinclair as a child moved with his family to New York City, and grew up there.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you victuallers2 and Wystan for the information on Upton Sinclair. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

  • Mr Flikker said:
    Do you mean to tell me that the LOC needs to be told about Upton Sinclair? Something is very, very wrong here.
