In Floding’s Drug Store I met Ralph Herbert. I do not know how we started to talk on labor conditions, but we were presently in a lively conversation about them. Once he became so enthusiastic about a sentiment I expressed, that he grasped my hand and shook it. It gave me a thrill and neither of us could talk calmly for a few minutes.
