    The New York City garbage strike was put down by a massive hiring of strikebreakers, but outbursts of resistance continued until the end of November, as documented by stories in The New York Times. Cleanup efforts dragged on into December. "Strikers Plead to be Taken Back" New York Times story, November 21, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02E3DC1231E2...

    This looks like East 14th Street in Manhattan with the Dewey Theatre visible. cinematreasures.org/theater/21704/

    Italiangerry: Thanks for spotting the theater name; the Dewey makes sense, since City Theatre is across the street. ParkerMulligan: Thanks for connecting this photo and the 6 others in the series to the specific garbage strike and date span.
