Writing this series of articles for "The New York Call" in 1913, Schloss describes the horrendous conditions then existing in the working class slums of Little Falls, NY. The Russian-born Schloss came to Little Falls, hired by a group of wealthy women to address the ongoing tuberculosis epidemic among the poor. She describes her discouragement as she realizes that the workers simply cannot follow her advice on how to avoid disease., and felt that she had become only Òa fad for the ladies.Ó By the time a strike spontaneously broke out in the town's textile mills, she was isolated from both her wealthy employers and the poor whom she was so desperate to help. Shocked by the police chief's observation that all of the strikers Òought to be shot,Ó she helps to organize a soup kitchen, only to be jailed for inciting to riot. After two weeks in the Herkimer County lock-up, she returns to the battle which finally ended in January, 1913 with modest pay increases for the strikers.
