Some are really interesting.
Can anyone explain me what kind of unit are those men?
Workers? Very fashion clothes for that.

Based on the picture I would say that is a Chinese fire department. During this period all fire departments were volunteers and worked very hard to out-do the other volunteer fire departments in the area. |

I second the fire department. First, they're wearing a 'fireman's shirt' with the buttoned bib. Second, there appears to be a two wheeled fire fighting apparatus in the background, with some type of rigid hose/steam whistle/? or something sticking up between the 2nd and 3rd guy from the left. Additionally, the rightmost gentleman appears to be holdinga fire horn, for issueing (yelling) orders. |

I think they are the Chinese/American branch of the Morris Dancers Society. The hose refers to their leggings. |

The caption for the first photograph might read "The arrival of 'Windy' Carson in the West. There's plenty of room on top, ladies."  I agree, interesting photographs. Thank you Armand. |
