Greetings, Brooklyn.  Today is the 314th day of the year.  

****

ON THIS DAY in 1910, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Long Strike Fight Planned by Drivers; May Tie Up Brooklyn.”

The article focused on a strike that took place in Manhattan, which had escalated into a violent affair when one man was shot.  

“Several developments took place in the strike situation to-day,” the Eagle reported.  “The most important of these was a summons to William H. Ashton, the labor organizer who is in active charge of the strike, to meet Mayor Gaynor at the City Hall forthwith.”
