    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...

  • Wystan said:
    But the strike did not end on November 11. Bain's photo bears the date: "November 13, 1911." It appears to show a striker dumping his cartload of garbage onto the pavement -- or perhaps a strikebreaking scab, whose load has been dumped contrary to his wishes.

    Thanks for the additional info. We'll include it in the description next time we update the record.
