About
Former mechanic and streetcar foreman Loy Connelly Cloniger recalls the 1919 Charlotte Streetcar Strike by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. He was present for a shooting that killed five strikers, though as night foreman, he did not participate in the strike. The strike accomplished nothing: soon after the shooting the strikers returned to work without the raise they demanded. Though perhaps not useful as a source of detailed information about the strike, this interview could be important as an eyewitness account of the 1919 strike and first-hand memories of streetcar work in early 20th-century Charlotte.
