Carmen Strike To Win A General Transport Labor Action
A 1919 Brooklyn leaflet urges carmen to unite and push a general strike against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. It denounces wage and living-cost grievances, condemns arbitration delays, and warns of police, militia, press, and capitalists colluding to crush union labor. It calls for cross craft solidarity among transport workers to shut down service and halt strikebreakers through a united effort.
