EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1911: A Snapshot of Labor Tensions in New York City. This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in American labor history - the garbage strike that gripped New York City for four days, from November 8th to 11th, 1911.
In this powerful image, police officers are seen protecting horse-drawn carts carrying trash through the streets of Manhattan. The scene is one of tension and conflict as workers demand better wages and working conditions amidst a backdrop of industrial action.
The photograph was taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service, which provided visual coverage of major events in early 20th-century America. This print offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives of New Yorkers during this tumultuous period, when labor disputes were commonplace and social unrest ran high.
As part of the Library of Congress' vast collection, this photograph serves as an important historical record, shedding light on the struggles faced by workers in one of America's most iconic cities. It also highlights the crucial role that photographers like Bain played in documenting these events for posterity.
