Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo mounted on black archival paper with its original AP caption mounted separately beneath the photograph. Overall measurements are approximately 8½ × 7⅝ inches. The original caption identifies the scene as Cleveland, Ohio, on April 10, 1947, during the statewide telephone workers strike. More than 400 pickets demonstrated outside the Cleveland Telephone Building as members of the Ohio Federation of Telephone Workers carried out one of the first mass demonstrations since approximately 15,000 Ohio telephone workers walked off the job. Mounted police are visible overseeing the picket line. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper with expected editorial handling and age-related wear. Please see photos.
