Erstausgabe
First Edition. Original printed strike placard, 21" x 14". Printed in black on heavy card stock. Mild marginal wear, slight toning; Very Good. The Brotherhood struck the E.J.&E. Railway in November, 1958, to protest rules changes regarding seniority and the elimination of trades. The E.J. & E. was the sole source of transport for U.S. Steel's South Works and Gary plants, which gave the union substantial leverage. According to contemporary accounts, the strike was settled quickly.
