Title	Santa Rita, Huelga
Subject	Strikes; laborers; mining
Description	Group portrait of strikers from the Steam Shovel and Locomotive Workers at Santa Rita, New Mexico. The building behind the men is an engineer's office. The mine shaft seen in the upper part of the photograph is called the Santa Rita (1900). The original shaft, called the Romero, was next to the Santa Rita.
Notes	Engineer James Roberts is the second man from the left in the front row. See #00461. The purpose of the strike was to obtain the same level of wages as co-workers in Nevada & Utah. Steam shovel engineer, Clarence Young, and his craneman, G. C. Hegler, were identified by the Chino Copper Company as the instigators of the strike, and were immediately fired. The strike lasted only two days. Any men who had not gone back to work the following morning were fired and blackballed in mining. The list consisted of nine steam shovel engineers and seven steam shovel cranemen.
