A strike followed when the union was challenged and railway operations were halted or slowed down on a number of occasions. President of the Los Angeles Railway Company Samuel Moody Haskins, sitting holding a document, and Vice President P. B. Harris, to his left, met with officials and employees' representatives to discuss the railway strike. Text from negative sleeve: L. A. Ry Strike Street car strike 6546*
