Violence in Green Island labor dispute
During a clash between picketing strikers and workers at the plant of the Sweet & Doyle foundry in Green Island, shots were fired but no one was injured, at least from the guns. The fight started when 50 men from Schenectady arrived in Green Island to join the striking workers on the picket line. It continued until members of Troop B, State Troopers, arrived on the scene and the crowd dispersed.
