The record names only a "St. car strike hdqs.," so this picture's exact city and date are not recorded, but the title points to a union or company command post during a streetcar walkout. Streetcar strikes were common in American cities in the early 1900s, when workers pressed for better wages, shorter hours, and recognition of their unions. Strike headquarters served as gathering places where organizers planned tactics, handled negotiations, and gave statements to reporters. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with pictures, made this glass negative, so it likely captured a moment that editors considered newsworthy.
