This is a photograph from the street of the Sampson Shoe Factory, where the worker's strike took place and where the Chinese workers were brought in as replacement laborers. A few of the workers are visible through open windows on the third floor.
Two workers, one appearing to oil wheels, the other in the conductors booth, pose with a passenger train bound for New York. The other man in black with a young boy appear to be travelers with the train. Train number is 241.
