Railroad workers gathered to discuss a strike in this Pennsylvania Railroad view, a detail that places it among the company's labor disputes rather than its routine operations. The record gives no date, but the George Grantham Bain Collection, from the Bain News Service, mostly documents New York-area news from about 1900 through the 1920s, a period marked by repeated rail labor unrest. Bain's staff often shot quick news pictures like this one, so the men's faces and postures are worth studying for their candor. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
