===Kallet seeks a solution===
The positions between Consumers' Research and the strikers became more entrenched and less reconcilable, and the strikers began to have more discussions about the working conditions of employees.{{sfn|Mayer|1989|p=22}} [[Arthur Kallet]] emerged as a leader who proposed the creation of a new organization which would evaluate products and take into account the working conditions under which those products were created.{{sfn|Mayer|1989|p=22}} The organization proposed would also engage in and promote boycotts, educational campaigns, and have alliances with other organizations, which were activities Consumers Research avoided.{{sfn|Mayer|1989|p=22}}

At the end of 1935, the protesters called for mediation.{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=20}} [[Reinhold Niebuhr]], a religious philosopher, chaired an arbitration group which included the [[American Civil Liberties Union]]'s [[Roger Nash Baldwin]], the educator [[George Counts]], and the socialist [[Norman Thomas]].{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=20}} Schlink rejected this arbitration and the Consumers' Research board of directors accused the strikers of being [[Communism|communists]].{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=21}}

The new organization, [[Consumers Union]], which was founded by Kallet and an [[Amherst College]] professor [[Colston Warne]], published its first magazine ''Consumers Union Reports'' in May 1936.{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=23}} The previous strike was very successful at drawing attention to the protesters and the magazine was founded with public attention and support.{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=23}} Within two years the circulation of this new magazine surpassed the subscriptions to ''Consumers' Research Bulletin'', which the organization continued to publish.{{sfn|Silber|1983|p=23}} As of 1987 it had less than 1% of the subscribers which Consumers Union's magazine had.{{sfn|Mayer|1989|p=22}}
