- Oral history interview with Lloyd Adair interviewed by Clifford Kuhn on 1978 October 6.
Atlanta, Georgia, white street car worker.
In part one of this three-part interview, Lloyd "Pop" Adair talks about the development of a union for Atlanta street car workers. He discusses the 1918 strike which resulted in a large wage hike for employees. Adair did not participate in the 1916 strike; he does relate accusations that the union dynamited streetcars during the 1916 strike. Adair believes that the union was not responsible for these explosions. - External Identifiers:
