Finally, in , the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed bringing child labour to an ultimate end. His photographs — whether of children working, migrants at Ellis Island or wider industrial conditions — emphasise the human side of modern industry and remain powerful today.

This blog post is a part of the Europeana Common Culture project , which explores varied aspects of our shared cultural heritage across Europe. Indeed we did, worked on our small farm, and during the summer worked on the bog saving turf after that saving hay, before we knew it we were back at school, holidays what holidays. Thank you for this very inspiring and moving work, which reminded me of a very beautiful poem by Victor Hugo who was one of the first to denounce this reality: Melancholia.

Name required. Festival Locations in Cork city. Mother Jones Facebook. When some suffragettes accused her of being anti-women's rights she clearly articulated herself, "I'm not an anti to anything which brings freedom to my class.
Occasionally she would include props, visual aids, and dramatic stunts for effect. It is said Mother Jones spoke in a pleasant-sounding brogue which projected well. When she grew excited, her voice did not grow shrill. Instead, it dropped in pitch, and her intensity became all but palpable. By age 60, she had assumed the persona of "Mother Jones" by claiming to be older than she was, wearing outdated black dresses and referring to the male workers that she helped as "her boys".
The first reference to her in print as Mother Jones was in In , workers in Pennsylvania's silk mills went on strike. Many of them were young women demanding to be paid adult wages. To do so, she encouraged the wives of the workers to organize into a group that would wield brooms, beat on tin pans, and shout "join the union!
She claimed that the young girls working in the mills were being robbed and demoralized. To enforce worker solidarity, she traveled to the silk mills in New Jersey and returned to Pennsylvania to report that the conditions she observed were much better. She stated that "the child labor law is better enforced for one thing and there are more men at work than seen in the mills here. They claimed that if the workers still insisted on a wage scale, they would not be able to do business while paying adult wages and would be forced to close.
Mother Jones and the March of the Mill Children
Although she agreed to a settlement that sent the young girls back to the mills, she continued to fight child labor for the rest of her life. In , Jones organized children who were working in mills and mines to participate in a "Children's Crusade", a march from Kensington, Philadelphia to Oyster Bay, New York , the hometown of President Theodore Roosevelt with banners demanding "We want to go to school and not the mines! As Mother Jones noted, many of the children at union headquarters were missing fingers and had other disabilities, and she attempted to get newspaper publicity for the bad conditions experienced by children working in Pennsylvania.
However, the mill owners held stock in most newspapers. When the newspaper men informed her that they could not publish the facts about child labor because of this, she remarked "Well, I've got stock in these little children and I'll arrange a little publicity.
Even though Mother Jones wrote a letter asking for a meeting, she never received an answer. The non-fiction book Kids on Strike! During the Paint Creek—Cabin Creek strike of in West Virginia , Mary Jones arrived in June , speaking and organizing despite a shooting war between United Mine Workers members and the private army of the mine owners. Martial law in the area was declared and rescinded twice before Jones was arrested on 13 February and brought before a military court. Accused of conspiring to commit murder among other charges, she refused to recognize the legitimacy of her court-martial.
She was sentenced to twenty years in the state penitentiary. During house arrest at Mrs. Carney's Boarding House , she acquired a dangerous case of pneumonia. After 85 days of confinement, her release coincided with Indiana Senator John W. Kern 's initiation of a Senate investigation into the conditions in the local coal mines.
Several months later, she helped organize coal miners in Colorado in the United Mine Workers of America strike against the Rockefeller -owned Colorado Fuel and Iron company, in what is known as the Colorado Coalfield War. Once again she was arrested, serving time in prison and inside the San Rafael Hospital , and was escorted from the state in the months prior to the Ludlow Massacre.
After the massacre, she was invited to meet face-to-face with the owner of the Ludlow mine, John D.

Rockefeller Jr. The meeting was partially responsible for Rockefeller's visit the Colorado mines and introduction of long-sought reforms. Jones remained a union organizer for the UMW into the s and continued to speak on union affairs almost until she died. She released her own account of her experiences in the labor movement as The Autobiography of Mother Jones She celebrated her self-proclaimed th birthday there on 1 May and was filmed making a statement for a newsreel. Mother Jones attempted to stop the miners' from marching into Mingo County in late August Mother Jones also visited the governor and departed assured he would intervene.

Jones opposed the armed march, appeared on the line of march and told them to go home. In her hand she claimed to have a telegram from President Warren Harding offering to work to end the private police in West Virginia if they returned home. Because she refused to show anyone the telegram she was suspected of having fabricated the story.
Mother Jones refused to allow anyone to read the document, and the President's secretary denied ever having sent one. After she fled the camp, she reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown. Although Mother Jones organized for decades on behalf of the UMWA in West Virginia and even denounced the state as 'medieval', the chapter of the same name in her autobiography, she mostly praises Governor Morgan for defending the First Amendment freedom of the labor weekly The Federationist to publish.
His refusal to consent to the mine owners' request that he ban the paper demonstrated to Mother Jones that he 'refused to comply with the requests of the dominant money interests. To a man of that type, I wish to pay my respects'. There was a funeral Mass at St. Gabriel's in Washington, D. Convinced that they had acted in the spirit of Mother Jones, the miners decided to place a proper headstone on her grave.
