In my many years of being involved with fine printing, this project has been a most challenging one; the combination of offset lithography and woodcut within the same image created problems that I could not have solved without the tremendous help of our Master Printer "extraordinaire", Technical Specialist, and Computer Programmer, John Mastracchio, as well as his associates, Cliff Meador and Ilse Schreiber."<BR><BR> The Chicago Police Department shot and killed ten unarmed demonstrators in Chicago, on May 30, 1937. The massacre occurred after US Steel signed a union contract but smaller steel companies like Republic Steel refused to abide by the contract. <br><br>
