A labor union is an insult to capital.
This was the situation at the end of ten weeks.

One day a motor car stopped in front of the offices of the mills and a lady emerged.

Mrs.
Glendower Evans, conservative, cultured, one might say Back Bay personified, had come to Roxbury to see the carpet manufacturer.

Her powers of persuasion, plus her social position and her commercial connections, were sufficient to wring consent from the firm to receive John Golden, president of the United Textile Workers.
John Golden, intelligent, honest, a fine type of workingman, educated in the English school of unionism, held two conferences with the firm.
He was able to make the employers see the whole situation in an entirely new light.

They were men of probity; they wanted to be fair; and when they saw the human side of the struggle they surrendered.
