Happy Strike day!! Today the Newsboy strike of 1899 start in Long Island New York after a group of boys saw a distribution wagon, turned it over, chased the driver down the street and proceeded to tear up all the papers inside the wagon!

Everyone single newsie deserves a big round of applause 👏🏻

[i-didnt-do-1t]

My personal favourite story of Annie Kelly is that when the boys noticed she was at the rally they would not stop incessantly chanting and cheering her name until she went up to do a speech

Annie Kelly was dubbed the brick of all women and most faithful of the strikers because despite the fact she could’ve sold copies of the world and journal (as many other female newsies did because the boys weren’t willing to soak them) she didn’t!

And because the public were generally in support of the strike, she got a shit ton of customers because she wasn’t scabbing and they didn’t want to scab by buying copies of the world and journal!

newsies fun fact of the day #4:

the rally in meddas theatre in the musical actually happened! it was held at irving hall instead of the bowery theatre, but it was in manhattan! several newsies made speeches, but the most notable ones were made by racetrack higgins, kid blink, and annie kelly!

also, that day a "sun" reporter asked Kid Blink about the female scabbers, and he replied "A fella can't soak a lady [...] but we have Annie with us" and I think it's amazing

Newsboy Strike: Day 5 - Saturday, July 22, 1899

World and Journal bribe men to sell papers

Who was striking? Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Long Island City, Mount Vernon, Newark, Fall River, Jersey City NJ, Hoboken NJ, Elizabeth NJ, New Haven Conn

On July 22, businesses started pulling their ads from the New York World and New York Journal because they weren’t selling. This was when the papers realized that the strike had the power to do them serious economic damage. They started to bribe people to sell their papers, offering them $2 per day, plus 40c per hundred papers sold. They recruit 100 men from Bowery lodging houses, but most of them back out after talking it over with the newsboys.

Kid Blink told the Tribune that this bribery only encouraged them to destroy the stock of anybody selling the papers because they knew they weren’t losing money since they were being paid off.

Unable to speak to Hearst on the previous day, a group of strikers waited for him outside his office when he arrived that morning. He invited Kid Blink, Jim Seabook, Jim Gaity and Dave Simmons up to his office to talk. They asked him if he would lower the price of the paper. He asked what the World was going to do, and they told him if he arbitrated they probably would too. He said he would talk it over with his staff and get back to them on Monday if he decided to arbitrate. The strikers took this as an encouraging sign.

Around 1 PM, a few hundred boys demonstrated in front of the World and Journal offices in Park Row holding banners. The police give up trying to disperse the crowd, taking instead to standing in front of the World building to protect it from being damaged.

The boys then marched to the Battery and through Broadway, picking up stones as they went and stoning a distribution wagon when they found one. Two of the ringleaders were arrested. Two other boys were arrested for parading illegally in Park Row, and three others for fighting.

All in all, the strike was gaining ground. Many of the cities and towns around New York joined the strike in solidarity with their New York brethren. The New York Herald described the strike as “one of the most successful labour upheavals in recent years.”

Annie Kelley - I'm so sorry only a few people remember your name. You, Kid Blink, David Simmons, and the hundreds of other kids who paved the way for the protection of minor workers will not be forgotten.

Thank you. I hope you all know we will always fight in your name so that kids will have the rights you gave them.

I hope you can rest in peace. You did your part, and a glorious one at that, and now it's our turn. Rest.

Anyways in honor of the Newsie strike anniversary, reminder that the strike was led by the disabled son of Italian immigrants. Reminder that girls were newsies as well. Reminder that MOST newsies were the children of Irish, Italian, or Russian immigrants. Quite a few were not born in America, and english was not their first language. Reminder that they were mostly catholic and jewish at a time when antisemitism and anti-catholicism was the norm. Reminder that many were disabled and homeless and sold papers in order to support their families. These kids were minorities that fought for their rights! Don’t forget that!

newsies fun fact day #7: a bit of a follow up to #6

there were newsgirls alongside the newsboys! there were more boys, so the girls tend to get completely forgotten. during the strike of 1899, many of the newsgirls turned scab because the other newsies werent willing to beat up girls like they did all the other scabs. there were some girls, however, that were very loyal to the strike. such as one newswoman named Annie Kelly.
