1910 -- Philadelphia shirtwaist makers voted to accept arbitration offer & end strike as Triangle Shirtwaist strike winds down; see Sept 27, February 15.
"If the union had won," explained 1909 Triangle Shirtwaist Company striker Rose Safran,
"we would have been safe. Two of our demands were for adequate fire escapes & for open doors from the factories to the street. But the bosses defeated us & we didn't get the open doors or the better fire escapes. So our friends are dead."
