A. Lessig, Bill Haywood, Patterson (LOC)

  should be Adolph Lessig, a union leader: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Lessig and Bill Haywood, another union leader: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haywood

• BobMeade said:

  There was a silk strike in Paterson, New Jersey in 1913 led by Lessig. Lessig and Haywood were subsequently convicted of being disorderly persons due to a large protest march which formed behind them. So, this composite photograph relates to that. Read some details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterson_Silk_Strike_of_1913 And their convictions were later overturned, according to this: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B00E4D8113CE633A... The Patterson in the caption may be amended to spelling Paterson in accordance with the "Paterson" inscribed on the negative.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thank you, striatic and lifeasdaddy. Will submit for review and addition/correction to the catalog record.

• Susan Barsy said:

  I used this image to illustrate a brief sketch of Haywood and his work with the IWW: susanbarsy.com/2012/10/06/big-bill-haywood/ SB

Haywood (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• txlaxchamp said:

  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/
