Original 1947 AP Wire Photo showing a massive labor rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City protesting the Hartley-Taft labor bill. According to the separate original caption, more than 22,000 followers of the American Federation of Labor packed the arena for a "Veto Day" program sponsored by the AFL Central Trades and Labor Council, urging President Harry S. Truman to veto the labor bill passed by the House of Representatives. A large sign above the crowd reads "Mr. President: Veto the Hartley-Taft Slave Labor Bill." Measures approximately 8⅛x6½ inches. AP stamp on the back. Note the aged tape on the corners and typical newsroom/archive handling wear. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
