Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem related to a historical strike in match factories, we analyze the context:

Step 1: First blank (subject of the strike)

The text is about a strike in match factories. The workers involved in match factories are matchgirls (women working in match factories). So the first blank should be filled with "matchgirls".

Step 2: Second blank (action of the strike)

The phrase "went on... against" is a common collocation for a strike action. The appropriate word here is "strike" to form "went on strike against".

Step 3: Third blank (organization formed)

After a successful strike by women matchworkers, the organization formed was the "Union" (specifically the "Matchwomen's Union" or in the context of the sentence, "Union" fits as the formation related to women matchmakers).

Answer:

1. matchgirls
2. strike
3. Union
