Description: This article describes how some strikers treated workers who chose to keep working.
- Why do you think the strikers would choose to take dinner pails rather than doing something else against the strikebreakers?
- Why would "extra energy" be needed at this time to care for the picket routes and make sure they were not violent?
- The fact that the police were there to supervise changes in shift tells us a couple of things about the situation. What information does this fact give us about work at the time of the strike?
- What effect might the council's decision to protect workers have on the strike and the strikers?
