From freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~npmelton/sfbth... >> Henry Collin Minton, D.D., LL.D. The chair of the Systematic Theology in the San Francisco Theological Seminary has had five incumbents during its history. The third of these was Dr. Henry C. Minton, who was elected to that position December 2, 1891. He entered upon the discharge of his duties therein in February, 1892, and continued until he resigned, October 1, 1902, to accept a call to the First Presbyterian Church, Trenton, N.J. Dr. Minton was born in Prosperity, Pa., and educated at Washington and Jefferson College, in that State. From it he received B.A., 1879; M.A., 1882; D.D., 1892; and LL.D., 1902.

I started an entry for him in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Collin_Minton

I don't know if that's the most unbiased caption.. The two striking carmen are collecting money for the strikers..one has a hat saying "I walk and do not patronize scab cars." They are in front of the Labor Temple/American International Church, which was located on the southwest corner of 14th Street and Second Avenue. ("The first Labor Temple occupied the former Fourteenth Street Presbyterian Church, located at 225 Second Avenue near Union Square, and built in 1851. photo at www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/LaborTemple.html "(Labor Temple, est. 1910 as a mission to working-men of New York City by the Home Missions Committee of the Presbytery of New York; organized as the American International Church in 1915 but continued to be known as the Labor Temple; Board of National Missions (Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.) took over its management in 1943 as a community and union center)" id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001069971.html A 1921 article entitled "Churches and Red Propaganda" described it this way: "A typical example of the use made of the Presbyterian Church by radical and revolutionary groups is to be found in the Labor Temple at Fourteenth Street and Second Avenue in the Borough of Manhattan City of New York. In this center there has been organized a regularly constituted Presbyterian Church known as the American International Church at which certain Church services are held. It appears from investigation that the neighborhood served by this organization is made up largely of foreigners from different lands of radical and revolutionary tendencies. Those in charge, apparently feeling the necessity of reaching the unchurched, have deemed it expedient to open the Church building during the past year freely to those who wish to spread revolutionary and subversive doctrines. An examination of the advertised meetings held at this center discloses that the vast majority of the speakers have been identified with one or another of the radical or revolutionary groups." books.google.com/books?id=5SIoAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA19&am...

Would the address have been 1313 4th Ave. S.?
