About This Item

San Francisco: Allied Printers, 212 Leavenworth St., 1907. Printed broadside, 7-1/2" X 11." Uniformly toned. Several short closed tears [no loss] with contemporary repairs on blank verso. Good+. Each of the broadside's six questions is preceded by a question mark.

San Francisco's 1907 streetcar strike was notable for its violence and disruptions. It resulted in 31 deaths and more than one thousand injuries. The broadside urges "everybody to keep off the cars with the firm determination that they will not ride until Mr. P. Calhoun accepts the arbitration which was offered. . ."
Wikipedia says: "As the strike loomed, one of the prominent officials of San Francisco's United Railroads, Patrick Calhoun, contracted with the nationally known 'King of the Strikebreakers' James A. Farley, for four hundred replacement workers waiting on board ship. The streetcar Carmen's Union struck on May 5, 1907, for an 8-hour day and $3 per day. Farley's armed workers took control of the entire system. The violence started two days later, Bloody Tuesday, when a shootout on Turk Street left 2 dead and about 20 injured."
Not in Rocq or Cowan. Not located on OCLC as of November 2023.
