Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›No Movie escape was ever more coincidental or more providential for the central figure than the thrilling leap of a closely pursued non-striking can driver for a passing fire-truck here. He is shown just slipping through the fingers of strikers and getting a hold on the truck which was enroute to sprinkle chemicals on gasoline at the scene of another strike episode. A cab had been overturned. So was the vehicle of this fleeing driver a moment after this picture was snapped.
