29 January 1912,

In the context of the ‘Pan y Larros’ strike led by women, thousands of workers from the textile industry said in Massachusetts, Lawrence, USA. The police shot the protesters with the death of Anna LoPizzo, 34. Those present stated that they had seen it clear that they were shooting at the police named Oscar Benoit, but he falsely accused the murder of two employees who were not on the same day. For several weeks, the protests continued until the guilty party was punished and the objective salary of the strike was raised.
