Butchers' Union Drum Corps

I came across this wonderful photograph of the Butchers’ Union Drum Corps, circa 1910, in the San Francisco – Labor photograph files while collecting materials to reproduce for the Labor Archives and Research Center’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on May Day:

    Do we want to know what they were using for drum sticks?
