Title (alt.):
Eye-Filling Pickets – Shopkeepers and customers in the vicinity of this Western Union office in Los Angeles will be sorry to see the six-week commercial telegraphers strike come to an end. And why shouldn’t they be sad? This bevy of picketing beauties seem to be advertising the California sunshine as well as the labor situation.
