  this picture is really classic, and shows what it was really like in Hollywood back in the day.

• Janet Lindenmuth said:

  That's labor leader William D. "Big Bill" Haywood in the middle: www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/haywood/HAY_BHA... I'm pretty sure this is from the Paterson New Jersey Silk Strike in 1913. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterson_Silk_Strike_of_1913

• Janet Lindenmuth said:

  I checked the 1910 Paterson census and there was an Albert McBrier who was an undertaker and some Kitays who owned a clothing store in Paterson, so it's definitely the Paterson Strike.

• Art Siegel said:

  The strike took place between February 1 and July 28, 1913. (see Wikipedia entry)

• Susan Barsy said:

  I wrote a brief article on Haywood and used this image as an illustration. susanbarsy.com/2012/10/06/big-bill-haywood/

Adolph Lessig (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Harry Angstrom said:

  According to NYTimes obit (see link below), Adolph Lessig "gained nationwide publicity during the silk strike of 1913 when he led the strike as the business agent of the International Workers of the World." He was associated with William Haywood, a famous labor leader. (Where are all the silk workers now? What did they do then?) select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0614FB3A59107A... Lessig&st=cse
