Bayonne, a industrial city on the New Jersey shore of New York Harbor, is the place named in this glass negative, which shows police at a strike. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds news pictures from the early twentieth century, when labor disputes often brought uniformed officers into streets and factory gates. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service noted on the negatives, which has not been independently checked, so the specific event remains uncertain. The picture is best read as a document of the frequent industrial conflict of its era rather than a confirmed account of one confrontation.
