Climaxing a parade down Broadway from Union Square, these members of the National Maritime Union gather in Battery Park, New York City, Dec. 3, 1945, with signs and banners to protest the slowness with which overseas veterans are being returned to the United States. The union declared a 24-hour work stoppage against the non-troop-carrying ships. (AP Photo/Harry Harris) (KEYSTONE/AP/Harry Harris)
