Picture 15-10.

At one point, NOPSI sent out this tow truck to retrieve a wrecked streetcar.  Strikers and strike sympathizers overturned the truck and set fire to it, then prevented firefighters from extinguishing the blaze.  This picture is marked July 8, but was most probably taken July 5. — Acme Newspictures Inc., collection of the author
