The strike that followed went for thirteen months and was vigorously and violently opposed by mill owners and police authorities.

THE PASSAIC TEXTILE STRIKE was made by the strikers' Relief Committee to not only show what was happening on the picket lines but to also provide much needed funds for the relief of strikers and their families.
