Where Dead Voices Gather  An Illustrated History of American
Labor #15  Original Caption:  Cleveland -- As mounted police
arrive on the scene to prevent trouble arising from a 3,000 man
picket line, an unidentified striker tries to shield himself
from the Park Drop Forge Co., Cleveland, Ohio, where CIO United
Auto Workers Union members managed to prevent most non-strikers
from entering the plant. (1954)   Gerard Saylor said...  Great
photo. I had to search to find the rest of that guy spotting his
trousers  Jonathan Walker said...  Amazing image! Is there a
photographer credit?  Timmy said...  This was actually the
initial attempt to squelsh(sp?) the petition for that damned
rock + roll hall of fame.
