EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Voice for the Working Class: Phil Caley Speaks Out in Little Falls**
In this striking photograph taken between c1910 and c1915, labor activist Phil Caley stands tall on "Permitted" corner in Little Falls, Pennsylvania. The image captures a pivotal moment of social change as Caley addresses a crowd gathered to listen to his impassioned speech.
As part of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Caley was a prominent figure in the American labor movement during this period. His words likely echoed themes of workers' rights and industrial justice, resonating with those seeking better working conditions and fair compensation.
The photograph itself is a testament to George Grantham Bain's skill as a press photographer. Taken from behind glass negative film, it preserves not only Caley's determined expression but also the atmosphere of the crowd gathered around him. The "Permitted" corner sign in the background serves as a reminder that this was an era marked by growing labor activism and social reform.
This powerful image is now part of Heritage Images' extensive collection, offering a glimpse into America's rich history of political activism and community organizing during the early 20th century.
