Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 202nd day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1922, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “10,000 Knit Goods Workers Ask More Pay; Face Lockout.”
The article focused on a plant in Ridgewood whose owners threatened to shut down operations if workers would not recede from their demands for higher wages.
