Union leaders, including Samuel Gompers, subsequently described the strike as "a real wake-up call for labor," Ewen said. "Gompers considered this strike like the sounding of a bell--and a lot of people heard it." "That these young women went on strike was an amazing event," said Pennee Bender, who produced a 30-minute video describing the unusual ethnic partnership during the strike.

Ewen notes that a supposedly impartial judge signaled his bias by telling the strikers that "they were not simply going on strike, they were going on strike against God."
