By working hard we could make an average of about $5 a week. We would have made more but had to provide our own machines, which cost us $45, we paying for them on the installment plan. We paid $5 down and $1 a month after that. Rose Schneiderman averagecosthard share on social

There is no harder contest than the contest for bread, let me tell you that. Rose Schneiderman ballotbeautybox share on social

I can't talk fellowship to you who are gathered here. Too much blood has been spilled. I know from my experience it is up to the working people to save themselves. The only way they can save themselves is by a strong working-class movement. Rose Schneiderman bloodclassexperience share on social

I read upon the subject and grew more and more interested, and after a time I became a member of the National Board, and had duties and responsibilities that kept me busy after my day's work was done. Rose Schneiderman boardbusyday Change image and share on social
