Mother Jones in Arizona and West Texas During August of 1916
Today we take a look at the whereabouts and doings of Mother Jones for the month of August 1916. Mother Jones was first found in the state of Arizona where she spoke in Tucson at the State Federation of Labor Convention. We next found her in El Paso, Texas, speaking up for the striking streetcar workers.
