On this day in Labor History the year was 1937. Three hundred police men waited outside the Bernard Schwartz Cigar Factory in Detroit, MI.
They were there to break up the peaceful sit down strike going on inside the Cigar plant. During the winter and spring of 1937, Detroit had seen a wave of sit down strikes.
2:00 minute audio at link.
