ANNE TRACY MORGAN
Morgan supported the strikers because they were abused, paid unfair wages, and were made to work in unsafe conditions. However, she believed that reform was needed and not class warfare which pitted workers and laborers against the bosses and owners. However, at the time the bosses and owners did not believe that there should be any reform and the nation was in decades of class warfare that has diminished but not ended into the 21st century. The clothing workers finally were offered higher pay and somewhat better working conditions but the owners would not recognize their union and their right to collectively bargain. At this point Morgan ceased supporting the workers actively.
Anne Tracy Morgan was an American philanthropist who provided relief efforts in aid to France during and after World War I and World War II. Morgan was educated privately, traveled frequently and grew up amongst the wealth her father, banker J. P. Morgan, had amassed. She was awarded a medal from the National Institute of Social Science in 1915, the same year she published the story The American Girl. In 1932 she became the first American woman appointed a commander of the French Legion of Honor.
