This picture shows a striker who appears to have been beaten, standing with policemen in Philadelphia, a scene the caption dates to February 24, 1910. The title comes from data the Bain News Service wrote on its negatives or caption cards, and the Library of Congress notes that it has not been independently verified. Bain's agency sold news photographs to newspapers across the country, so pictures like this one were made to be published quickly as labor disputes drew public attention. The image is on a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a format that shows the sharp detail and fast exposure typical of early news photography.
