Knights of Labor

“I ran and I left everything— pocketbook.
I was running and the people were all
at the door. I saw the people throwing
themselves out the window. I wouldn’t
dare. I didn’t have the courage. ‘I’m
not going out, I’d rather die here,’ that’s
what I said. The door was locked. We
were about a hundred people. We were
hollering and crying. We waited a long
time. We didn’t feel any of the flames,
but it was getting warm. The fires went
to the windows.”
