Bread & Roses Strike 1912 Poster

The poster is titles in black font "Help Help They are Murdering Us". Below that in red ink is an image with a little girl and a woman chained to a rock with capitalism engraved on it. Below the chained woman is a label saying "Lawrence Mass Textile Workers". On the edge of the image are rifles and police batons pointing at the chained woman. Below the image alternating between red and black font it states "The Strike of Lawrence is Still On. Ten Thousand Men, Women and Children Are Still On the Fighting Line. Police, Courts and Injunctions are Still in Use to Drive the Workers Back Into the Mills that Have Not Settled. But Never Mind the Injunction by Which Capitalists Try to Tie Up the Funds, We will do As Before, The Workers Will Win Their Just Claims. Never Mind the Injunctions, the Workers of Barre, Mass. and other places are Up in Rebellion Against Abominable Conditions, All New England States is Seething With Revolt, the Toilers are Preparing for a Better Day. Ettor and Giovanitti; 63 Men and 20 Women are Still in Jail; They Must Be Set Free. Never Mind the Injunctions and Courts, Send all Contributions for Relief and Defense to Jos. Bedard, 9 Mason Street Lawrence, Mass
