- Photograph of a line of telephone operators keeping cool using fans and ice. These women were working during a Communications Workers of America strike. Caption reads: "Dallas, Tex. Aug 10-BEATING THE HEAT--Both ice and fans are brought into play by telephone operators at an exchange here today as the city continued to swelter under 100-degree or over temperatures. The thermomemter reached a high of 102-degrees to run the consecutive days of 100-degree readings to ten. It is the longest period of such readings since 1925 when a record of 11 straight days was set. High mark for the present heat wave was 107 on August 6."
