Rrandlshing mops, brooms and pans, the wo- men drove strikebreakers away from the mines and on one oc- casion toppled a sheriil' over into a creek. The strike was “on ultliout either bloodshed or rioting. Mother Jones say!- t O C By MOTHER JONES. (Published by permission of Charles H. Kerr 1!: Co.. Chicago. Copyright, 1926).
