Walsenburg, Colorado – State Militia Slowly Killing Mother Jones
From The Wheeling Majority of April 2, 1914:
“The Charge on Mother Jones” by Henry M. Tichenor”
THE CHARGE ON MOTHER JONES
The patriotic soldiers came marching down the pike,
Prepared to shoot and slaughter in the Colorado strike;
With whiskey in their bellies and vengeance in their souls,
They prayed that God would help them shoot the miners full of holes.In front of these brave soldiers loomed a sight you seldom see:
A white-haired rebel woman whose age was eighty-three.
“Charge!” cried the valiant captain, in awful thunder tones,
And the patriotic soldiers “CHARGED” and captured Mother Jones.‘Tis great to be a soldier with a musket in your hand,
Ready’ for any bloody work the lords of earth command.
‘Tis great to shoot a miner and hear his dying groans
But never was such glory as that “charge” on Mother Jones!
Mother Jones: “Come on, You Hell Hounds!”
-by Art Young, From The Masses of February 1914
From the Appeal to Reason of April 4, 1914:
“Mother Jones in Filthy Jail.”
-Telegram from Paul Paulsen of the U. M. W. A.
[Note: Kostas Markos was the name of the striker who died has a result of being held in the cold cellar cell at Walsenburg.]
“Angel of the Miners.” by John Kenneth Turner
