The SIU provided around 500 of its own members as security. Many of the UFE employees were office workers and women who needed protection from police violence. The strikes lasted a month, from the end of March 1948 to the last day of April. Although UFE was able to get the concessions they sought from the Curb Exchange, the Stock Exchange bosses refused to compromise with the union.

Title A name given to the resource Fireman John Ward nurses his injury during Log interview Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Black and white photograph Subject The topic of the resource United Financial Employees Description An account of the resource John Ward ices down his fractured ankle while giving his account of the UFE strike to the Seafarers Log: "When the first upsurge ended, I found myself lying on my stomach in the middle of the group. I was about four men from the door of the Exchange. In the noise and turmoil I couldn't hear anyone yell at me, and I'm sure no attempt was made to do so. The first feeling of what was going on came when I felt someone beating me about the back and legs. Some cop rapped a tattoo on my back and I felt a sharp stab when his stick cracked against my ankle bone. I don't think I could have risen then if I'd wanted to. Finally four cops grabbed me and dragged me to the wagon."
