โWork or wagesโ was the motto of several hundred unemployed who gathered in front of City Hall, October 16, 1930, and tried to petition the mayor to find them work. There was some fighting. A few arrests were made, and several were injured. Leaders tried to forcibly enter the building, and were promptly nabbed by the police.
Cool Facts- The red junglefowl may look like a common domestic chicken however these babies were the start of it all, being the ancestor to many domestic chicken breeds. Being a non-domesticated chicken species, the red junglefowl is rarely used in egg or meat production. The males are known for their striking plumage that attract females for mating. Using their crow only for mating instead of signifying sunup, red junglefowl can be heard for kilometers. Males also sport a spur on their inner foot, allowing them to attack predators and competitors. Sadly, red junglefowl are used in cock fighting due to this spur and their aggressive nature.
