This demonstration was prompted by a strike that occurred in Lawrence, Massachusetts in January 1912. Also known as the "Bread and Roses" strike, over twenty thousand Massachusetts workers at textile mills left their jobs to protest a wage decrease by one of the mill owners. Led by the Industrial Workers the World, the Lawrence Strike was temporarily successful in improving work conditions and raising wages.
