Memorial honors Triangle Shirtwaist fire deaths that galvanized labor movement_我的网站

A |     NEW YORK -- If people really looked for history at the New York City building where the Triangle Shirtwaist factory once existed, they could find it. There are plaques pointing out that it was the site of a horrific fire in 1911 that became a catalyst in the American labor movement's fight for workplace safety protections.But for some, a few words on a wall aren't nearly enough to honor the fire's 146 victims.So after years of effort, the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition on Wednesday is dedicating a new memorial that has no chance of being overlooked.A giant steel ribbon with the names of those who died in the disaster, predominantly women and girls, has been installed running horizontally from one corner of the building. Underneath it, a reflective panel shows the stenciled names as well as quotes from people who were there, describing the mayhem. In the coming weeks, a vertical steel column will be added to the corner to span almost the entire height of the building, a reference to how high up the victims were stuck.It’s the story of desperate immigrant women, mostly Jewish and Italian, who were trapped by a door that was locked because there were no workplace safety rules that said it couldn’t be. Some jumped to their deaths from the windows to avoid the flames.“What they will see is a memorial that tries to build into the object itself the history of the fire, a history of working women, a history of Italians and Jews, a history of tragedy, but then also a history of change,” said Mary Anne Trasciatti, a Hofstra University professor and president of the coalition.The victims were close to the end of their working day on March 25, 1911, when a fire started on the eighth floor of the clothing factory, which took up the top floors of a building now owned by New York University.Frantic workers tried to get out as the flames spread to the ninth and 10th floors, some scrambling to get into an elevator, others heading for the roof. But others who tried to get past a door to escape found it locked, trapping them inside. At a trial of the factory’s owners afterward, some said the door had been kept locked on purpose, over theft concerns.Firefighters responded quickly. But their ladders were too short to get to the topmost floors.Horrified witnesses in the crowd watched as workers leapt from the windows. Among those bystanders was the late Frances Perkins, already an anti-poverty advocate trying to change workplace conditions, and who became even more dedicated after what she saw that day.“It really started her in her push for ‘we have to treat workers better,’” said Ileen DeVault, professor of labor history at Cornell University.Some of her words recollecting the day are part of the memorial, running along the reflective panel. “Every one of them was killed, everybody who jumped was killed.”Perkins would be part of a state commission that put a series of safety rules in place in New York that were emulated elsewhere, and later became an integral part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s cabinet as his secretary of labor. She pushed for policies like minimum wage, workers compensation, and old age pensions.One of the names on the memorial will be that of Rosie Weiner, who died in the blaze, but whose sister and fellow factory worker, Katie Weiner, made it out alive.Later, Weiner would recount how she grabbed an elevator cable to make her escape. Today, her great-niece, Suzanne Pred Bass, is on the board of the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition. Growing up, Bass knew her great-aunt had lived through the fire, but it wasn’t until years later that she heard about Rosie.Bass’ mother remembered accompanying her mother as a small child to the pier where the victims' bodies were taken after the fire.“She never forgot that, she was 4 years old and I can only imagine how how scary and awful,” Bass said.Memorial designers Richard Joon Yoo and Uri Wegman wanted to find a way for modern-day people to connect with the fire and its legacy, they said. The public was invited a few years ago to contribute pieces of fabric that were joined together in a 300-foot (91-meter) “Collective Ribbon." That ribbon’s design was then etched onto the memorial steel that rises up toward the top of the building.It was important to make that connection between past and present because issues of labor, workplace protections, and how workers are treated are still far from settled in the country and the world, Yoo and Wegman said.“Everything that it talks about with women workers, immigration, labor, it’s these touch points that just keep on flaring up over and over and over again,” Yoo said, pointing out that industrial disasters, at garment factories and elsewhere, still happen around the globe.The two came up with the design for the memorial about a decade ago. It is coming to fruition, with a capital budget of about $3 million, during a year of labor activism in some U.S. industries, with strikes by auto workers, hospital staff, film and television writers and screen actors.It just shows that the Triangle Shirtwaist fire still has lessons to impart, Bass said.“We forget a tragedy like this at our own peril,” she said. “We have the same issues, immigrant issues, safe working condition issues, abuse of women in the workplace issues. It’s not like any of these issues are all fixed."。很多人不喜欢做家务的最大原因是用来做家务的机器和设备很重，所以更轻的设备一直是用户的期望，不是最轻的，而是更轻的。最近，松下发布了MC-SBU1F，可能是迄今为止世界上最轻的真空吸尘器。

B | 据了解，松下MC-SBU1F真空吸尘器是一种超薄无线真空吸尘器，外形为细圆柱形，可单独使用或与延长管连接。

C | 松下MC-SBU1F真空吸尘器只有530g，由于其体积小、重量轻，可以自由使用而不被困在使用场所和清洁场所，而且由于其圆柱形外观，如清洁架，非常方便。

D | 此外，真空吸尘器还配有超精细的间隙喷嘴，如沙发间隙或汽车座椅，难以进入清洗。当然，这种真空吸尘器也可以接地面清扫的延长管，与延长管相连的机器重量只有750克，是世界上最轻的无绳杆式真空吸尘器。延伸管上的喷嘴方向可根据手腕变形情况进行垂直或水平改变。它可以在不改变喷嘴的情况下水平和垂直地清洁整个地板。通过前后摆动和左右摆动，可以说它像雨刷一样干净。由于真空吸尘器主体有吊绳，收集时可直接挂在衣架等处。然而，由于真空吸尘器的体积小，集尘箱的容量自然不会太大。集尘能力为0.06L，整个集尘箱和过滤器可以用水清洗，非常方便。松下MC-SBU1F真空吸尘器配有三个锂电池。它可以在高模式下工作大约7分钟，长模式下工作30分钟，一次完全充电4小时。松下MC-SBU1F吸尘器有三种颜色：石墨灰、橄榄绿和胭脂红。从价格上看，这台机器是25000日元，大约是1554元。

E | 可以说，这种轻便的吸尘器让不太喜欢做家务的小编感到有点心跳。
