    November 8 - November 11, 1911 New York City Garbage Strike
  • 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.
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for the additional info. We'll include it in the description next time we update the record.

  • Wystan said:
    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...

Edith W. Pierce - Gutekunst Photo (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Mrs. Edith W. Pierce, a nurse by training, became Philadelphia's first female city inspector of highways and street cleaning in 1913. She founded a Junior Sanitation League to encourage young people to take an interest in healthy urban environments. The Junior Sanitation League had over 10,000 members during her time, with each child wearing a pin that said "For Clean Philadelphia Streets." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045211/1914-09-19/ed-... She's mentioned in Martin V. Melosi, Garbage in the Cities: Refuse, Reform, and the Environment (University of Pittsburgh Press 2004): p. 106.
  • Wystan said:
    If her name is Edith, why has someone tried to confuse the issue by tagging the photo with the name "Elizabeth"?
