Description	Colonel William C. Greene, of Cananea Consolidated Copper Company, who can be seen under the Comisaria or Police Station sign, addresses a large crowd of Mexican mine workers during the Cananea Strike which took place in the Mexican mining town of Cananea, Sonora, in June 1906. The conflict is considered a key event in the general unrest that emerged during the final years of the regime of President Porfirio Diaz and that prefigured the Mexican Revolution of 1910. This photograph is part of the Cananea, Mexico collection which includes 20 photographs of Cananea, Mexico located just across the Arizona border showing striking miners, armed men, demonstrations, the mine site, town views and American company employees.
