The SIU provided around 500 of its own members as security. Many of the UFE employees were office workers and women who needed protection from police violence. The strikes lasted a month, from the end of March 1948 to the last day of April. Although UFE was able to get the concessions they sought from the Curb Exchange, the Stock Exchange bosses refused to compromise with the union.

As I went to the line, a cop stood in front of me and wouldn't let me by. I moved to one side and so did he. Then he moved to the other side when I did. I tried to get around the cop but he bumped me. This went on several times and finally I was thrown against a pillar, and hit it hard. Then another cop got into the argument. He said, "Take her away." So they took me away, and I was at the station house when the cops slugged the pickets."
