Six burials were delayed in North Arlington, N. J., when 45 grave
diggers sat down in a sympathy strike for 10 general laborers seeking
a wage increase at Holy Cross cemetery. Here are a half dozen of the
strikers sitting beside an open grave and tombstones. When they refused
to return to their jobs it became necessary to place bodies of six persons
in a receiving vault.
