Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo of gathering of striking dock workers at Tower Hill, London from Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, Volume 115, 1912, page 146. Caption: "Amazing Feature of a Big Strike. Large gathering of dock strikers on Tower Hill, London, which, at the call of Ben Tillett, the labor leader who addressed it, publicly prayed that Lord Davenport might be struck dead. Lord Davenport is the Chairman of the Port of London Authority, and the men were incensed because he opposed their demands. The strike was the cause of great suffering to the families of the strikers. Lord Davenport is described as a kindly, old-fashioned business man who took his stand on principle. He is a self-made man, having begun life as a tea clerk without salary, and having by ability and hard work risen to his present position. He is the head of a chain of 200 grocery stores."
