The picketers were the combat troops, the foot soldiers who went daily into battle. Within days of the strike call, the Association of Waist and Dress Manufacturers of New York — formed and dominated by the largest firms — declared open war against the union. They urged small owners who had already made settlements to repudiate them. A trade agreement with the union “was not worth the paper it was written on.” New workers were hired, and reinforcements for the ranks of gorillas.
