New York shirtwaist strike of 1909

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City on March 25, 1911 was the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of the city, and one of the deadliest in US history.
 The fire caused the deaths of 146 garment workers – 123 women and 23 men – who died from the fire, smoke inhalation, or falling or jumping to their deaths.
 Most of the victims were recent Italian and Jewish immigrant women aged 16 to 23; of the victims whose ages are known, the oldest victim was Providenza Panno at 43, and the youngest were 14-year-olds Kate Leone and "Sara" Rosaria Maltese.
Helen Marot (June 9, 1865 – June 3, 1940) was an American writer, librarian, and labor organizer.
 She is best remembered for her efforts to address child labor and improve the working conditions of women.
 She was from Philadelphia and became active in investigating working conditions among children and women.
 As a librarian, she worked at several important institutions and helped organize the Free Library of Economics and Political Science in 1897.
 Marot was a member of the Women's Trade Union League.
 She later organized the Bookkeepers, Stenographers and Accountants Union in New York.
 In 1912, she was part of a commission that investigated the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
 She was an active writer and her articles about the labor movement appeared in many periodicals of the day.
Rhinelander Waldo (May 24, 1877 – August 13, 1927) was appointed the seventh New York City Fire Commissioner by Mayor William Jay Gaynor on January 13, 1910.
 He resigned on May 23, 1911, less than two months after the deadly Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to accept an appointment as the eighth New York City Police Commissioner.
 On December 31, 1913, he was dismissed by the outgoing acting mayor, Ardolph Kline.
 Among other achievements in office, Waldo contributed to the motorization of both departments.
The 1913 Binghamton factory fire occurred on July 22, 1913, on the premises of the Binghamton Clothing Company, in Binghamton, New York.
 It destroyed the Wall Street building in less than 20 minutes, killing 31 of the more than 100 people inside.
 Though not as deadly as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, it put even more pressure on New York officials to strengthen life safety codes, increase funding for more inspectors, and increase penalties for violations.

The New York shirtwaist strike of 1909, also known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was a labor strike primarily involving Jewish women working in New York shirtwaist factories.
 Led by Clara Lemlich and the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, and supported by the National Women's Trade Union League of America (NWTUL), the strike began in November 1909.
 In February 1910, the NWTUL settled with the factory owners, gaining improved wages, working conditions, and hours.
 The end of the strike was followed only a year later by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, which exposed the plight of immigrant women working in dangerous and difficult conditions.
