Creator: Lindsley, Lawrence Denny, 1879-1974.

Description: Handwritten on verso: #5313. 1890's photo made. Typical Pioneer Log Cabin. Pioneers built their homes with logs and lived in them many years and when saw mills came in built some wonderful homes with the lumber. This is the Lindsley cabin not far northeast of Licton Springs and was built a little north and west of the present Northgate Center.  Handwritten on negative jacket: 5313. 1890's. Old Seattle. Old log cabin on Father and Mother's Homestead in a clearing in a dense fir forest. Big fir tress on the point. There must have been a lake here at one time. Smooth and glassy where the big firs were reflected on its mirror lake seer face and where deer came to its shores to drink and the ruffed grouse [illeg.] to his mate in the cool depths of the trees. Go on and on this is only an opening.

Creator: Staff PhotographerSeattle Post-Intelligencer

Description: In the early 1930s, the International Longshoremen's Association, led by San Francisco-based Harry Bridges, tried to unionize all West Coast dockworkers to improve pay and working conditions. In 1934, after employers refused to recognize the union, West Coast longshoremen went out on strike for 98 days, seriously disrupting trade. At Seattle's Smith Cove, picketing strikers blocked access to the piers and tried to prevent ships from being loaded and unloaded. The mayor called out the police to curb periodic violence.  Strikers and sympathizers had stormed Seattle's police headquarters after police raids on Communist and radical unions began on July 18. When the men retreated to Smith Cove to join the picketers, Mayor Charles Smith led 300 policemen to the area armed with tear gas and submachine guns. Injuries were heavy on both sides, but no shots were fired.  In this July 19, 1934, photo, taken in Seattle during the West Coast Longshoremen's Strike, two policemen crouch behind protective bales of wool on the Garfield Street (Magnolia) Bridge at Smith Cove.
