She crooks her finger -- twenty thousand contented / men lay down their tools and walk out." Mother Jones died on November 30, 1930, having devoted the / last half of her long and eventful life to struggles for justice. Miners were her particular cause, but / se also worked to stop child labor and helped found the Wobbliers (industrial Workers of the World).".
