You ought to be out raising hell.
This is the fighting age.
Put on your fighting clothes.

From Mesabi Strike Zone: Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Fights for Miners
From the Duluth News Tribune of July 23, 1916:
Miss Flynn in City.Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, I. W. W. agent, returned to Duluth last night, after a week spent among the strikers on the range. She said she would rest here today and return to the strike zone the first of the week.
“i delivered speeches in nearly all the range towns last week,” she said at the Holland hotel. “Sometimes I spoke in two or three towns in one day. The situation is quiet with both strikers and operators playing a ‘watchful, waiting’ game. It seems to have developed into a test of endurance-a test to see which faction can stand it the longest.”
