Children's Strike of 1894

Procession of children, heading to Hyde Park in London, to demonstrate against their treatment by organ grinders. These children were part of the Organ Dancers Union, who would dance in the streets to organ music and thereby gain attention for the organ grinders. As they said Why shoold we colect the crowd and get none of the takings?
