Confrontation and Conviction - Sheriff Kinkead & Strikers in Bayonne
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful black-and-white photograph taken by Bain News Service in 1915, Eugene Francis Kinkead, the sheriff of Hudson County, New Jersey, stands firmly among a crowd of striking workers from the Bayonne refinery. The image captures the tense atmosphere that defined labor disputes during World War I.
As Sheriff Kinkead surveys his surroundings with an air of authority and concern for public order, he is flanked by determined strikers who have been fighting for better working conditions, wages, and benefits at the local refineries. Their faces reflect a mix of frustration, determination, and hope as they demand recognition from their employers.
The photograph not only documents the labor unrest in Bayonne but also serves as a testament to Sheriff Kinkead's commitment to maintaining law and order during this period of industrial action. The image is part of Bain News Service's extensive collection of press photography that chronicled significant events, people, and places throughout American history.
