Some of the 6000 A.F.L. Retail Clerks Union members leave the Shrine Auditorium after taking part in a "prayer-strike" in connection with their work stoppage at 50 Los Angeles area food markets. At the end of the "prayer-strike" meeting their union leader told them to go home, not to return to their jobs and to come back to the Shrine Auditorium tomorrow for another meeting. Photo dated: July 8, 1952.
