-Found Speaking to Tin Workers in New Castle, Pennsylvania
From the Pittsburg National Labor Tribune of July 1, 1909:
VOTE AT NEW CASTLE.
—–[…]
Pride of New Castle lodge, composed of members of the Amalgamated [Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers] employed at the Greer tin mills, decided at a meeting Saturday night to strike against the “open shop” policy the vote was 153 for and 104 against….

Mother Jones Speaks Out.
Many of the tin workers who had voted to strike went to hear Mother Jones speak at the Airdome Sunday night but were not as well pleased with her remarks as they thought they would be as she held out no hope for them winning their strike. Mrs. Jones stated that the men had no hope at all unless they were solidly organized and that they could accomplish nothing in the condition that they were. She did suggest that they all get into the Socialist party and by all uniting under that banner that they would win in the end. That was the gist of her remarks pertaining to the New Castle situation.-News

St. Louis Labor
Dear Comrade:Have been quite busy of late. This is the first opportunity I have to write you a few lines. Am here in Pittsburg now and must take next train to New Castle. I went down to Baltimore where I met your mother and sister. Your mother looks as if she were only forty years old; is a fine and strong woman. Came down from Washington and spent afternoon with her. I guess you received my last week’s Washington letter?
Yours truly,
Mother Jones.
