She finds the girls in the factory overworked and underpaid. She protests to Victor Manton, the junior partner, head of the firm. The father discharges Alice for conspiracy. Alice waits for the girls outside the factory door and when they come out at noon she advises them to strike. The bosses have her arrested. The son is deeply affected. He sees a vision: his father sitting by a huge grinder into which pass sad-faced working girls and out of which streams a flood of money. He sees himself spending that money in fistfuls on dissipation. Just as the grip about his heart becomes unbearable, his father wakes him up to tell him that he wants him to take the business over entirely. Victor joyfully accepts the responsibility and his first step is to have Alice released from jail. With her hand in his, he brings on a new era of comfort and justice to the workers in his factory.
