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 Oiler Robert Meloy, interviewed by the Log 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 Recounting his time on the UFE picket, Brother Meloy said, "Somehow I found myself in the middle of the surging bunch and tripped over a falling picket. Lying face down, I looked up once and got rapped on the back of my head. No one said 'Get up' or anything. A cop started beating me on the head again, and he must have hit me 30 or 40 times. I had my arm around another fellow so the cop hit me on the elbow—it seems they like to hit on the bone. His blow took all the strength from my arm. Four cops tried to lift me to the wagon. Finally one grabbed me by the hair and neck and dragged me. The hospital told me the elbow nerves may be crushed."
