Mr. Mitchell said, “My God, Mother, did you get home safe? What did you do?”

“I got five thousand men out and organized them. We had time left over so we organized the street car men and they will not haul any scabs into camp.”

“Did you get hurt, Mother?”

“No, we did the hurting.”

“Didn’t the superintendents’ bosses get after you?”

“No, we got after them. Their wives and our women were yelling around like cats. It was a great fight.”
