Dress Co Employees Return After Brief Walk-Out
About 150 workers at the Bristol Dress Company returned to work this morning after a short voluntary walk out sparked by union pressure. A CIO organizer visited on Friday but failed to credential his claims, prompting the workers to convene a mass meeting at Academy Hall. Demands centered on higher pay and union recognition with an entrance fee of $2 and weekly dues of 25 cents, while management floated a 10 percent wage increase.

It notes a 1875 Trial By Jury start in London and a peak American season yielding about 900000 dollars in box office receipts across New York and a later D'Oyly Carte tour revenue.

Gilbert and Sullivan: Trial By Jury Misread History
In 1870 Gilbert and Sullivan met and produced Thespis, their first collaboration which quickly failed. Gilbert, 39, and Sullivan, 33, each brought a mix of drama and sacred music to the venture. The partnership produced one flop and was believed over.

Trial by Jury Revival and Early Gilbert and Sullivan
Richard D'Oyly Carte reassembled the team to stage Trial By Jury. Gilbert framed a critique of judicial corruption with Sullivan's instantly praised score. D'Oyly Carte formed the Comedy Opera Company with four investors, produced The Sorcerer for 175 performances, then Pinafore in 1878, which opened with poor take, prompting directors to sell their stakes to D'Oyly Carte and regret the move.
