"Mother" Jones
Strenuons Career,
Bom in Ireland and Has Been
Agitator All Her Life
The following write-up of "Mother"
Jones was published In the New ^ ork
Tribune:
"Mother" Jones, of labor agitation
fame, who was arrested In West \ ir
gini for trying to assemble a crowd of
striking miners, and thus violated an
injunction, has been known among
labor unions for twenty years, She
conducts ber followers to victory or
defeat in labor agitations with a Jean
ne d' Arc enthusiasm.
" 'Mother" Jones is a labor agitator
of the tircbrand order- said a man
from the anthracite region in Penn
sylvania recently-' 'Where striker
are to be encouraged, funds raised f r
unlonS, workers to be organized, capi
tal to be attacked, Mother Jones is in
her element, and urges her point w h j
a vigorous-personality and a searching
voice. She possesses all the qualities
? of the successful labor agitator. be
is shrewd, she knows what will arouse
the workers, she can create enthusi
asm and sbe Is clever enough not to
go too far. Her value in working the
men up to ttao necessary pitch is rec
ognlzed by the unions, Who employ hei
for that purpose.
"Although fifty-eight years or age,.
Mother Jones is as vigorous and full |
Of fire as ever. She is slender of tig
ure and has white hair, a wrinkled
face, keen eyes, prominent chin, high
cheek bones, a coarse voice, and a \ itf-1
orous manner. She is full of facts,
figures, and light, and her strong
warm handshake is that of the walk
'He'r constant association with the
'horny handed son of toil' has made
ber somewhat like him. tier person
ality is more that of the man than of
the woman. In public life, in the
midst of the rush of organization, of a
hard fought strike, she shows none of
the softness and the sweetness of a
woman, but she gets at the hearts of
the men. She has more inlluence
over them than most of the leaders,
and she is a more welcome speaker.
Others may counsel mild measures
nit she. She bits right from the
shoulder at capital, and calls it tne
o enemy of the workingman. It may
not be logical, but it wins attention
and arouses enthusiasm. She makes
him fight it as she does?vigorously,
unmercifully. No half way measures
for her.
"It is her policy to select the dirti
est and meanest looking miner on the
street and walk with him, talking
about his condition and the tyranny
. ?f the operators. She will lead the
?boys' in wild cheering, she will march
with them in processions, reaching for
the dramatic and spectacular effect,
sue will also go to their homes and
confab with the wives and children,
arousing them to talk unionism or
strike to the husbands and brothers.
" 'Mother'Jones was born In Cork,
Ireland, and had to tiee with her
father to thlscountry when he became
concerned in some political agitation
for freeing Ireland. She was then
eight years old, and the fight made a
strong impression on her mind. The
family went to Toronto, where she
was well educated, and early began to
develop the talent for debating which
has never deserted her. As a young
woman she attended public meetings
for the discussion of all sorts of sub
jects. She taught for a time and
then married George Jones, a molder
and a union man. As a wife she did
much to encourage his union, and she
Eot other women interested. She can
claim some credit for the foundiug of
the woman's auxiliaries wbichare now
a feature of many labor organizations.
?'After six years of married life her
creat sorrow came, yellow lever tak
? ine her husband and four children
A within a week, Then she first took
W an active part In labor matters, and
soon developed Into a full-tledged agi
tator. She has since devoted her life
to the work. She has fought Chinese
? immigration in California; has studied
jfijor conditions in England, Ireland,
Germany, France, Austria and in
every state in the union: has worked
In the cotton mills of the south to
secure practical knowledge of condi
tions, and then fought for their im
provement; labored during the great
strike in Chicago, and marched with
Coxey's army. In brief, Mother
Jones has been prominent In every
strike and big labor movement la the
country during the last fifteen years.
She bas also traveled over much at
Europe.
"For the last few years she bas been
with the United Mine workers. It
was she who. during the strike in the
anthracite regiAi In 1900 led bodies of
strikers and tbelr women folks to stop
work at collieries where the men still
held on; who outmarched and out ma
netfvered the soldiers sent to stop her,
and-in the end did much toward clos
ing every colliery In the region. Only
three years before nineteen strikers
had been killed and two score wound
ed by a sheriff's posse .on the same
ground, but 'Mother' Jones did not
bring her men In conflict with tbe sol
diers. She was too able a general."
