At the Mill Water York Road mill the girls went in singing and ‘cheering for Connolly and Flanagan’, and at York Street too.

As a result of the girls acting upon the advice given, Connolly wrote, ‘the whole atmosphere of the mill is changed. The slave-driving is checked, laughter and songs and pleasant chat can be heard, and the work is in nowise interfered with. Taking our advice the strikers grew into a solid, compact body, animated by one spirit, and standing unitedly together.’

No such inspiring, cheering spectacle has been seen in Belfast as the sight of these girls and women marching in more defiant, radiant, and hopeful than when they came out. We believe that out of such material, leavened with the spirit of the ITGWU, we will soon absorb the best and most of the Belfast mill workers.
