Talk:Philadelphia transit strike of 1944

Looking for images to add to the article
I have been looking for images to add to the article but so far have had trouble finding free images or images satisfying our WP:NFCC fair use criteria. The explorepahistory.com website hosts a couple of relevant images that are currently linked in the External links section. I particularly like this image. The image comes with a caption ""Credit: Courtesy of Temple University, Urban Archives, Philadelphia, Pa." I contacted the Urban Archives and it turns out that the image is still copyrighted. They gave me the source information about the photo -it comes from an Aug 1, 1944 article in Philadelphia Evening Bulletin titled  "WLB Tells Union to Get Men Back on Job at Once". The copyright to the image was subsequently acquired by the Urban Archives and is current. The really bad news is that they charge regular commercial rates for the reuse of their images - they gave me the forms and the rates. Apparently they have a large image collection and the fees for reuse of these images represent a substantial source of income for the Urban Archives. I asked them if they'd be willing to release this particular image under a free license acceptable by Wikipedia, but they declined. I think that a fair use claim would not be acceptable under these circumstances, since NFCC#2 does not appear to be satisfied in this case. The book of Wolfinger, used as a ref in the article, also has several images related to the strike, but they all are also credited to Urban Archives, Temple University, so there would be the same kind of a problem with a fair use claim. I have not found other images directly related to the strike (free or copyrighted), so if someone has other ideas of where to look, please suggest them here. I was also thinking about a more generic image - e.g. an African-American driving a streetcar (anywhere, not necessarily in Philadelphia in 1940s), but after quite a bit of google-searching I have not found anything suitable so far.

New Image
I know nothing about these sorts of things but this is the unit that patrolled Philadelphia in their car after they had moved to Germany? Is this helpful? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 17:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
