"
That night Sam held, in the room he had engaged, a meeting of the girl
strikers, explaining to them his plan and offering to pay all expenses of
the fight he proposed to make for them. They clapped their hands and
shouted approvingly, and Sam began laying out his campaign.
One of the girls he told off to stand in front of the factory morning and
evening.
"I will have other help for you there," he said. "Before you go home to-
night there will be a printer here with a bundle of pamphlets I am having
printed for you."
Advised by the soft-eyed Jewish girl, he told off others to get additional
names for the mailing list he wanted, getting many important ones from
girls in the room. Six of the girls he asked to come in the morning to
help him with addressing and mailing letters. The Jewish girl he told to
take charge of the girls at work in the room--on the morrow to become also
an office--and to superintend getting the names.
Frank rose at the back of the room.
"Who are you anyway?" he asked.
"A man with money and the ability to win this strike," Sam told him.
"What are you doing it for?" demanded Frank.
The Jewish girl sprang to her feet.
"Because he believes in these women and wants to help," she explained.
