Description: |
The delegates to the twenty-first general convention of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America met in Indianapolis in 1924. The group was in town to deal with labor conditions and is seen here assembled on the south steps of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Represented by these 648 delegates, the union was composed of 2173 local unions with a total membership of 365,916 union members. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
