The staunch little defender of the work- ing man last night closed her eyes on @ hundred years of throbbing life. It was her body that failed under the pressure of time, for the spirit which had carried her through the battles of Union Labor was militant still, Only one friend was with her in the still hour of midnight when her heart ceased its feeble beat. She stirred slightly on her bed and then lay still. Mrs. Walter Burgess, who had harbored and tended her in the retirement of the final years, bent over and saw it was the end. From her little country cottage on the outskirts of the capitol, word went out that brought sorrow to the thousands upon thousands who have surrounded the little Irish woman with a halo of near-sainthood. Falling For Year Many times the end had been ex- Pected during the past year as she Gradually ceased to be able to take nourishmend. Last May 1 she cele- brated her one hundredth birthday. It was a quiet occasion but it mark- ed the ending of a long hostility pe- tween her and the almost-as-ancient John D. Rockefeller, who once had her put in jail. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor said of her death: “The loss sustained cannot be mea- sured and the service she rendered will never be surpassed or excelled. ‘The hearts of the men and women of labor are very sad.” “Mother” Jones was for more than 60 years one of the most forceful and militant personalities with which cap- ital and labor had to deal. Wherever strikes and labor troubles were fiercest, there was “Mother” Jones in her little black bonnet and with her biting, eloquent tongue. She had the power to make men follow her, even sometimes against the dic- tates of higher-ups in the labor world. She started out in the 70's cham- pioning the cause of the laborer, to secure for him beter working and liv- ing conditions. Nothing stopped her or turned her back, whether it was militia or governors. Her activities were most spectacular in the mines of Colorado, the coal fields of West pate and the cotton mills of the ut “Mother” Jones saw plenty of hard- ship and trouble in her early years and the conflicts of the American working man appealed both to her sympathies and her love of dacing. She was born in Cork, Ireland, May 1, 1830. Her father, Richard Harris, an Trish agitator, came to America and obtained a job with a railroad con- (Continued on page nine) LO?
