  • 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...

    typo in title. 'biding" should be 'building'
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the tip! We’ll need to correct the typo so that we can keep the information we show here in Flickr and in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html) in sync
  • Alan Denney said:
    This is probably the 1912 strike, the first ever national coal strike. The strikers were fighting for the establishment of a national minimum wage and the men in the photograph are strike-breaking scabs.
