Trying to find an image

(cross posted from Omaha Steve's Labor Group)

I recall, once upon a time, seeing a poster (drawing) of a woman holding a child out above/in front of her during a labor strike/pitched battle during the late 1800's/early 1900's. Don't know if it was a Harper's Illustrated image, or something else. Also don't know which action it was; the Homestead Steel strike, or another.

Does anyone remember seeing this? It was a fairly famous image, as I recall.

EDIT: I recall this as being a pro-Labor poster; the woman was not trying to shield herself, rather, she was holding the child up as if to say "We are mothers, we have children," while facing a line of armed men/soldiers/cops/strikebreakers.
