I was in Washington. D. 0., in
1913. at the time of the great coal
strike against the Rockefeller hold-
ings in southern Colorado. Ten years
previous a strike there had been
suppressed with guns and by starva-
tion.
One day I read in the newspapers
that Governor Ammons of Colorado
said Mother Jones was not to be al-
lowed to go into the southern field.
That night I took a train and went
directly to Denver. I got a room in
the hotel where I usually stayed. I
then went up to Union headquarters

told him. That night I Went way

“I sure will." said he.
I got on board the sleeper in the
yards. Early in the morning the
porter waited me. “Mother." he said,
“the conductor is going to stop the
train for you. Be ready to hop."
When the train slowed down be.
fore we got to the crossing. the con-
ductor came up to help me off. He
waved to me as the train pulled
away. "oGodby. Mother."
It was very early and I walked in~
to the little town of Trinidad and got
breakfast. I was in Trinidad three
hours before they knew I was there.
They telephoned the governor. My
arrest was ordered. Orders

Then one Sunday. Colonel Davis
came to me and said the governor
wanted to see me in Denver.

and inside. It was the one time in
my life that I thought my end had
come: that I was to say farewell to
the earth. but I made up my mind
that I would put up a good fight be-
fore passing out of life!
When we reached the Sante Fe
crossing I was put aboard the train.
I went to bed and slept till we ar-
rived in Denver. Here I was met
by General Chase.
I was taken before the governor
the next morning. The governor
said to me. "I am going to set you
free but you must not go back to
the strike zone!"

soldiers waited me.
"Get up." they said. ”and get off
at the next stop!"
I got up, of course. and with the
[soldiers I got off at \Valsenhurg,
fifty miles from Trinidad. The engi-
neer and the fireman left their train
when, they saw the soldiers putting
me off. .
"What are you going to do with
that old women." they said. “We
won't run the train till we know!”
The soldiers did not reply.
! "Boys." I said. "go back to your
engine . Some day it will be all
right."
Tears name trickling down their
cheeks. and when they wiped them,
away. there were long, black streaks
on their faces. '
I was put in the cellar under the
court house. It was a cold. terrible
place. without heat, damp and dark.
I slept in my clothes by day. and at
night I fought great sewer rats with

"Path To Paradise" Is Fine Crook‘
Comedy.
A line new crook comedy with a
brand new treatment is what is of-
fered for the last times today at the
Regent theatre ‘in the Paramount
picture “Paths to Paradise,” featur-
ing Betty Compson and Raymond
Griffith. “Paths to Paradise." a
Clarence Badger production, adapted
for the screen from the play, "The
Heart of a Thief," is a story of two
clever crooks who team up. fall in
love and‘ reform, after giving the
entire San Francisco police force the
chase of their lives.
Featured at the Regent for to-
morrow only is the picture “The
City That Never Sleeps." starring
Ricardo Cortex. Louise Dresser.
Kathlyn Williams and Virginia Lee
Corbin. Naturally the “City That
Never Sleeps" is New York and New
Yorkers. It is a heart appealing tale
of a mother's love for her baby
daughter in which she sacrifices her~
self that the child may have every
advantage only to receive, in return.
