Have you ever seen such orderly picketing lines?

These men were photographed “milling around [the] street across from the Brooklyn Navy Yard during an electrical workers strike” in 1941, according to the caption of this World-Telegram photo taken by Al Ravenna and documented by the Library of Congress.
