- Recording of an interview with Eula McGill. In this recording, McGill is asked about her history with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers during a time where they were in competition with the United Mine Workers over a men's clothing plant staffed primarily by women. McGill explains the politics of the union's disagreement as well as instances where the women plant workers were harassed by the mine workers' union members, who were predominantly men. She also includes her own feelings and details on how the police became involved. At the end of the interview, she discusses piecework and the effect of unionization on inflation.
