Police guarding Liverpool Station during transport strike
Policemen on horseback guarding Liverpool Station during the general transport strike of 1911. The strike began with two of the seamens unions, resulting from a range of grievances, and spread to other transport workers, becoming national by the middle of June. By August railway workers were joining in, and a mass demonstration took place in Liverpool on 13 August, beginning peacefully but ending in fighting as a result of police violence. The city came to a complete halt on 15 August. However, negotiations were begun, and the railway workers returned to work on 21 August
