A Lonely Job--This was the scene early today in the editorial room of the Daily Mirror, one of this city's newspapers which have been closed down as a result of a strike by 400 AFL photo-engravers. Members of non-striking unions have refused to cross picket lines. The empty copy desk is in the foreground. Reading telegraph copy at one of the desks in background is Charles R. Barth, an editor not under the jurisdiction of non-striking union.
