She was in bed for four weeks, and will always be somewhat disabled by her injury. These and other illegal oppressions visited on the strikers roused a number of members of the Woman's Trade-Union League to assist the girls in peaceful picketing.
But at first, in the same way as the average workingman is apt to have an uncomfortable feeling about the woman entering his trade, even apart from the most important reason of all, that she is wont to be a wage-cutter, the average trade-union man retains a somewhat uneasy apprehension when he finds women entering the union. As they become active, women introduce a new element.
Not a man of the family, for time beyond which the memory of man runneth not, but had been a whole-souled, single-purposed labor man trade-union man extremist revolutionist. Her father had been killed in a labor riot and beatified by her. As the men of her family had been, so were the women so was she.

If he happens to desire a form of liberty which is not thought important by his trade-union, he is powerless; he must submit or starve.
The Fabian manifesto said that the advance in wages which could be secured by the settlement "will undoubtedly have been secured on the trade-union program, through the trade-union organization, by the trade union's representatives, and finally, in the argument before the arbitrator, by the ability of the trade union's secretary."
