She visits her father and he refers her to his junior partner, Fred Howard, to whom Ruth is engaged. Accompanied by her fiancé, Ruth goes on a tour of inspection through the factory. In the hallway, she sees a crowd of workers gathered around a girl who has fainted in the poorly-ventilated workroom. As they approach the group, David Hale, a factory hand, asks Howard for better conditions. Howard orders David back. Ruth, admiring David's personality, interferes and tells him she will talk with her father. The next day David visits Bessie and tells her he is expecting a raise of wages soon and they will marry. Bessie's happiness over David's love is interrupted by a visit from Ruth. David takes her through the tenements, showing her poverty in its worst form. She asks him to assist her in lightening the burden of the poor. He consents. The close contact into which David and Ruth are thrown in their work, draws them together. Ruth awakens to the knowledge that she is in love with David. She breaks her engagement with Howard. He goes to her father. The father shows a letter he received from David in which he asked for an increase of wages so that he may marry Bessie Clay. Ruth comes to her father's office for money and her father places the check close to David's letter so Ruth will see it. She learns for the first time of David's engagement. She is overcome and on leaving her father's office meets David. She breaks down and weeps. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
