Lawrence Strike Relief Fund.
The Lawrence strike began on Jan. 12, 1912, at the Wood Mill of the American Woolen Co, Lawrence, Mass. It spread quickly to the Washington Mills and eventually shut down all of the mills in Lawrence. It lasted 63 days and led to wage increases and better overtime rates for workers.
