Yellow Cab strikers enjoy themselves as they picket before the Company's Division 5 headquarters in North Hollywood. Jodi Barker (16, left) and Jean Pester (right) serve coffeee and cake to cabbie George Ditzler who is sitting in the wheel chair. Cabbie Melvin Ash stands behind Ditzler and the cabbie with a big bow tie, leaning on a TV, is Jack Sparks, a cowboy movie actor. Signs read: "Mr. Wooster, the only thing yellow about a cab driver is the hat he wear's [sic]" and "I wonder where the yellow went, went on strike to pay the rent". Photo dated: Aug. 4, 1956.
