    Read somewhere one time that the heavy lifting, dirty work, manual labor on that subway construction project was done mostly by blacks and Irish immigrants.

    i would not doubt that. the immigrants were coming to America at such a time, that laborers were needed, and anyone that wanted to work, found jobs.

    Interesting reading the explanation of each photo. Especially the guy that was shot 20 feet into the air and landed in the river, unhurt.
