Approximately 700 engineers employed by the municipally-owned Department of Water and Power, stand on the sidewalk outside the department building today during a two-hour "strike" in protest against what they termed "inadequate wages." The men are members of an independent labor group, and claimed they are being paid 15 per cent less than wages paid outside the city department. Photo dated: June 20, 1955.
