"All the time our union was progressing very nicely. There were lectures to make us understand what trades unionism is and our real position in the labor movement."
Time
"We have tried you good people of the public and we have found you wanting."
People
"By working hard we could make an average of about $5 a week. We would have made more but had to provide our own machines, which cost us $45, we paying for them on the installment plan. We paid $5 down and $1 a month after that."
Work

Victory
"The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too. Help, you women of privilege, give her the ballot to fight with."
Woman

Beauty
"I learned the business in about two months, and then made as much as the others, and was consequently doing quite well when the factory burned down, destroying all our machines - 150 of them. This was very hard on the girls who had paid for their machines."
Business
"I would be a traitor to these poor burned bodies if I came here to talk good fellowship."
