This is what happened after the wool handlers in Boston went on strike. Boston wharves and piers are piles high with bags and bales of wool from the West Coast and Australia, which arrived here on ships since the strike began. These photos, upper and lower, show the thousands of bags and bales of wool on Commonwealth pier. Similar conditions prevail at other piers and wharves here.
