Excerpt from Women in Trade Unions in San Francisco, Vol. 3 The design of the directors of the Girl's Union evidently met with no response, for we find them complaining that no one had applied for instruction. They said they needed strong, willing girls for domestic service and could find places for 5000 good girls. The managers of the club instituted a scheme for sending abroad to bring girls over on the promise of employment. When explaining their plans, the directors spoke of the open hostility with which they were regarded by the trade-unions. For the enlightenment of the public, the Coast Seaman's Journal gives an explanation of labor's attitude toward the Girls' Union.
