Cover: Painters go on strike at new Internal Revenue building, Washington, D.C. Photograph by Harris and Ewing, 19 July 1937. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. LCDIG-hec-23002.

The Library of Congress online catalog entry for this item at https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/hec2009009700/ describes: "Bryce P. Holcombe, Painters Union Business Agent, issues instructions to Albert Giacalone[?], striking Union Painter as he began picketing of Union Painters. Cause of the strike is the employment of non-union men by the firm holding the contract for the job. Today's walkout means that Union Painters have stopped work on all federal projects and the situation might develop into a complete strike on government buildings in the Capitol, 7/19/37." Robert Shaffer considers the significance of more recent union movements in the 1960s and their connections to trends of that decade and the postwar era in his article, "Public Employee Unionism: A Neglected Social Movement of the 1960s," which begins on page 489 of this issue.
