Title	Procession Leaving Youngstown Sheet and Tube Stop 14 Gate Photograph
Subject	Business and Labor Steel industry Labor unions Demonstrations Laborers Crosses United Steelworkers of America
Place	Youngstown (Ohio) Mahoning County (Ohio)
Description	This 8.5" by 11" (21.59 by 27.8 cm) photograph depicts a procession leaving Stop 14 gates of the Campbell Works South Gate of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company. John McNicol can be seen carrying a cross. Attorney Staughton Lynd and Reverend C. Edward Weisheimer are on the right. Following announcement of shutdowns, United Steelworkers Association (USWA) Local 1462, Brier Hill Works of Youngstown Sheet and Tube (YS&T), fought to keep mill open. In November 1900, a group of 55 Youngstown citizens, led by James A. Campbell, raised $600,000 in capital to create the Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company. Land was purchased along the Mahoning River approximately three miles east of downtown. In 1902, the mill opened for production. Spectacular growth marked the company's second decade, some of it spurred by the demand for steel caused by World War I. In 1923, YS&T purchased the Brier Hill Steel Company of Youngstown and the Steel and Tube Company of America of East Chicago. During the 1930s the company survived the Great Depression and the 1937 "Little Steel" strike to emerge as a leading steel producer. In the 1960s, YS&T began to experience a decline. The company merged with the Lykes Corporation in 1969 and LTV Corporation in 1979, at which time all Youngstown operations were phased out.
