Image of French restaurant and unfair picketing banner in Downtown, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
Exterior image of Rene & Jean, French Table d'Hote. Photograph focuses on the restaurant's window which has the business' name stenciled onto the glass. Also on the window is a banner that reads, "Unfair Picketing, We Pay Union Wages, We Work 8 Hours, We Will Not Sanction Forced Unionism." Another smaller sign on the glass reads, "Cocktails 25 [cents]." In the reflection it can be seen that there is an auto park, or parking lot across the street. Over the window hangs a ruffled canopy with the words, "French Table." To the left, a shoe repair shop can be seen next door. The sidewalk outside Rene & Jean's has colorful, geometric designs. Restaurant's entrance to the right not pictured. Rene & Jean's was a French restaurant located in Downtown Los Angeles on 639 South Olive Street. "Table d'hote" means "host's table," which implies the restaurant served French homecooked-style meals to its patrons. The restaurant no longer exists in its original location as there is now a parking lot there. The anti-picketing banner indicates the owners' stance on forced unionism, which was one of the most significant social issues at the time. Though they supported their restaurant's union, the owners were against it becoming a forced institutional practice everywhere. There is no one specific Los Angeles Times article associated with this image.

Flooded area with homes surrounded by water following the failure of the Saint Francis Dam, Santa Paula (Calif.), 1928

Description:
The St. Francis Dam was a 200-foot high concrete gravity-arch dam built between 1924 and 1926 in St. Francisquito Canyon (near present-day Castaic and Santa Clarita). The dam collapsed on March 12, 1928 at two and a half minutes before midnight. The resulting flood killed more than 600 residents plus an unknown number of itinerant farm workers camped in San Francisquito Canyon, making it the 2nd greatest loss of life in California after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It is considered the worst American civil engineering failure in the 20th century.
