Sisters All (1913)

When garment-maker Sergius lowers his workers' wages, his poorly-paid help protests. His richly-dressed daughters, Hattie and Helen, visit him at his office just as some of the workers enter to protest the injustice of the reduction. Sergius' daughters plan to assist the workers. Olga and Vera, two Russian sisters who are leading the protesters, live in a small room in a wretched tenement. Sergius' daughters call to see them and tell them that they have decided to work for their own living and ask to share their home. Sergius visits the tenement and finds his daughters making his garments. He directs them to return home, but they hold out in their determination to stand by their poorer sisters. A few days later, the two, with Olga and Vera, bring their sewing to the factory and are paid by the cashier. Sergius meets them with a pleading look. Helen and Hattie tell the girls that they will make one last appeal to their father. They follow him to his office and this time he relents and consents to give the girls their demands. His daughters then tell their father that they will return to comfort and cheer him. Joyously they go back to Olga and Vera, who are assembled with the rest of the factory girls, and tell them the good news, which is received with general rejoicing.
