Protest Against the Rockefeller Mine Strikes


The photograph shows “Wild Joe” O’Carroll addressing the I.W.W. mass meeting in Mulberry Road Park. New York city, held in protest of the Labor war at the mining properties of the Rockefeller interests in Colorado. The young woman next to O’Carroll is Miss Marie Ganz, who invaded the Rockefeller offices at 26 Broadway, and threatened to kill John D. Rockefeller, Jr., if he continued to refuse to put an end to the strike by complying with the demands of the strikers.
