from the Oregonian: " LABOR LEADERS IN NEW YORK WHO DIRECT STREETCAR STRIKE BACK ROW C. A. SEVERS, LOUIS FRIDIGER (ATTORNEY FOR STREET RAILWAY UNION). WILLIAM COLLINS, P. J. ROONEY, E. A. RALEIGH, JOHN SULLIVAN, J. P. COUGHLIN, F. S. TOMLIN. FRONT ROW J. R. BUCHANAN, W. P. FITZGERALD (ORGANIZER OF STREET RAILWAY MEN), HUGH FRAYNE, MAURICE DEYOUNG, M. J. WALSH AND OTTO NICHOLS. Frayne was chairman of the meeting at. which the photograph was taken, which included representatives of the brewery workers, printers, machinists, moulders, longshoremen and theater workers. The meeting was held last Sunday to discuss the question of a general sympathetic strike." This is probably the 9/10/16 meeting of the Conference Committee representing New York organized labor described in a 9/11/1916 NYT report, called to discuss a massive sympathy strike in support of the striking subway carmen. Among those named in the Oregonian's caption, the article mentions Otto Nichols of the Brooklyn Central Labor Union, Hugh Frayne, State Organizer for the American Federation of Labor and chairman of the committee, and William Fitzgerald the carmen's general organizer. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C05E2DF1F3FE233A... We saw Louis Fridiger and William B. Fitzgerald in other Bain photos related to the strike:
