International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - Description:
- Stadium interior, facing a stage from ringside seating, with a somewhat oblique angle. Roughly 100 chairs are onstage, many are occupied, though some participants are standing around talking. A lit podium is at the front. Behind the stage is a towering sign reading "American Labor Party Re-Elect Roosevelt" Below this is pictured an American flag and 3 labelled portraits: largest, in the center, F.D.R., on the left James Mead, and on the right Henry A. Wallace. All three men are light skinned, at least middle-aged, and looking toward the audience to the left. The stadium is liberally decorated with American flags and patriotic bunting. Some audience members can be seen in the stands and in front of the stage, and a banner reading "Dictatorship Dooms Labor" is hung on the second level.
