		On the last day of April [1928] occurs the 28th anniversary of the death of Casey Jones, probably the most famous of a long line of locomotive engineer heroes who have died at their post of duty, one hand on the whistle and the other on the airbrake lever.

	Mother Jones: The Woman
		Stories, Sinclair wrote, were Mother Jones' weapons, stories "about strikes she had led and speeches she had made; about interviews with presidents and governors and captains of industry; about jails and convict camps." She berated the miners for their cowardice, telling them if they were afraid to fight, then she would continue on alone.
		The rock of Mother Jones' faith was her conviction that working Americans acting together must free themselves from poverty and powerlessness.
		Mother Jones opposed giving the vote to women -- or, to be more precise, she believed that suffrage was a false issue, a bourgeois diversion from the real problem of worker exploitation.
