The strike of the miners in Arizona was one of the most remarkable strikes in the history of the American labor movement. Its peaceful character, its successful outcome, were due to that most remarkable character, Governor Hunt.
I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be the vicarious sufferer for the wrongs that others do.
I believe that movements to suppress wrongs can be carried out under the protection of our flag.
I am Mother Jones. The Government can't take my life and you can't take my arm, but you can take my suitcase.
I am not blind to the shortcomings of our own people.
If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class!
