Eveleigh Workshops during the 1917 railway strike

    I can't help noticing the tin of Arnott's Biscuits with the parrot logo. For more on Arnott's history see Arnott's Heritage.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Janette Pelosi And it has pride of place in this photo! I didn't realise Arnott's was so old. From the link above: "In 1865, a small bakery opened in Hunter Street, Newcastle, north of Sydney, New South Wales. It supplied bread, pies and biscuits to the local townspeople as well as to the crews of the many ships that docked at the port to load coal." AB

    Comment from reader T. Edmonds: Appears to be at Carriage Works (FA type carriages in background) with food being served. Lad at window has two plates, so possibly working as a waiter. Appears to have a table behind the lad with a plate of food on it.

    DL Cease was longtime editor of the Railroad Trainman, and served on various advisory boards to do with railroad workers' wages, safety, and other employment conditions.

    In the news in 1913 as an appointed member (with Seth Low, W. W. Atterbury, and others) of an arbitration board established by act of Congress to mediate an impending railway strike.
  • Richard Norton said:
    I started an article on him in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_L._Cease I haven't been able to come up with his middle name.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Everyone, Thanks for the additional details on Mr. Cease. We will expand the record when we update.
  • B-59 said:
    This photo ran in the Sunday Oregonian, August 24, 1913, SECTION FIVE, Image 59 with the caption: "Daniel L. Cease, for 22 years editor and proprietor of the Railway Trainmen of Cleveland, has been chosen as one of the six arbitrators who are to settle the present trouble over wages between the trainmen and conductors and the railroads. There are to be six arbitrators. Mr. Cease and Lucius .B. Sheppard are to represent the men. The railroads are to name two arbitrators and these four will select the remaining two arbitrators." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1913-08-24/ed-1/se...

    Is the oval matt attached to the photo or could you possibly scan the complete photo? Cheers!
  • Mich said:
    I think this is a composite photo. The scaling of the men and the trains is wrong.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Bankstown Babyboomer Yes, these photos are in an album and they are attached to the matt.
