Marchers from the Russian Labor Association are the particular subject of this glass negative, which the record ties to a New York parade. Its date of 5/1/09 points to May Day rather than Labor Day, so the title's label should be read with caution, since it comes from unverified caption data kept by the Bain News Service. New York's Labor Day parades had been held since the 1880s, when unions marched through the streets with banners to show their strength. The Bain collection preserves many street scenes of immigrant and labor groups from the early twentieth century.
