What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.
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!
