At Gaynor notification 9/3/13 (LOC)

  Can someone tell me what the Gaynor Notification means?

• Retired at last said:

  It seems to be part of the mayoral election campaign of 1913. The notification ceremonies took place on 3rd September 1913. William Gaynor, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gaynor was nominated for mayor by a group of independent supporters after clashing with the Democrats over corruption in office. He died a few days after this on 10th September 1913. The C. F. M. of the placard will be Charles F Murphy, the boss of Tammany Hall.

William Zerner and his son Louis standing in front of a bottle tree 1902

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  By August 1902, heavy sheep and cattle losses were reported from Queensland. Rivers in western Queensland dried up, and the Darling River at Bourke virtually ran dry. Further south, towns near the Murray River such as Mildura, Balranald and Deniliquin—then dependent on the river for transport—suffered badly. The national wheat crop was all but lost, with close to the lowest yields of the century. Source: www.bom.gov.au/climate/drought/knowledge-centre/previous-...

Alien Subway workers, N.Y.C. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• absorbed peace said:

  amazing on so many levels!

• aware health said:

  Like a lot of Bain's NYC photos, this one was apparently taken near their offices on Union Square -- looks like the Everett Building in the background ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett_Building_%28New_York%29 )

• swanq said:

  The issue of alien workers was clearly a hot topic in late 1914. NYT of November 24, 1914 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50714FF3E5E1373... "MAY TEST ALIEN LAW IN CRIMINAL COURT; Utilities Board Will Decide Today on Steps to End Muddle Over Subway Work. CONTRACTS ARE INVOLVED It May Be Urged That in Signing Them Contractors Accepted the Law as It Stands."
