“ Life comes to the miners out of their deaths, and death out of their lives. ”
Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.
~ Mary Harris Jones
They began work at 5:30 and quit at 7 at night. Children six years old going home to lie on a straw pallet until time to resume work the next morning! I have seen the hair torn out of their heads by the machinery, their scalps torn off, and yet not a single tear was shed, while the poodle dogs were loved and caressed and carried to the seashore.
I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser.
I will tell the truth wherever I please.
