On this day, 9 June 1926, striking furriers clashed with police and strikebreakers in Manhattan’s fur district. Police on foot and on horseback, in addition to detectives from the industrial squad fought with striking workers in the area bounded by 6th and 7th Avenues and 25th and 29th Streets. One scab foreman was stabbed as he tried to cross a picket line, leaving him with light injuries. Seven strikers were arrested: Joseph Isenberg, Irving Kosher, Joseph Weiss, Martin Koreestress, Solomon Walters and Leo Kaplan, all in their early to mid 20s, and Louis Morriston, aged 48. The workers were demanding a 40-hour week and other improvements. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1735520089966467/?type=3
