| Description: | Rolling, shaky, dull in contrast and imagery With the huge steel plant shut on orders from the governor, state police govern the strike-torn town until negotiations between 15,000 workers and officials of the company can take place. Meanwhile, peace reigns with no indication of unrest. A picket sign reads..(What Woman Would Live With A Strike Breaker As A Husband?) The other sign reads...........(Mill Men Remember The Days of Mill Slavery/ Organize Or You Will Be Driven Back To Slavery.) | |
