Description:
On May 10th, the second day of the 1934 longshore strike (see site 3), this hiring hall was used by the shipping companies to recruit scabs in an effort to break the strike. The strikers came to the hall and used their numbers to try and prevent the strike breakers from being loaded on busses and when that failed to overturn the busses. The police eventually escorted the scabs to the docks, but the strikers' actions greatly reduce their number.
