This branch of our work led to a big fight a fight most happy in its results. At a meeting of the Fabian Society, Miss Clementina Black gave a capital lecture on Female Labour, and urged the formation of a Consumers' League, pledged only to buy from shops certificated "clean" from unfair wage. Herbert Burrows and I interviewed some of the girls, got lists of wages, of fines, &c.
