Chicago is a Union Town

Gary Settle

New York Times

Beer drinking white construction workers gather in Chicago's Civic Center to protest a Negro coalition's efforts to break in to construction unions. They climb over a Picasso sculpture, leaving scuff marks which will not fade for 2 or 3 years, then they march arm in arm with friendly police, who pretty much let them have their way.
