Mother Jones Marker At City Hall (Philadelphia, PA)

Marker reads:

"Mother Jones (1830-1930) Mary Harris Jones began the March of the Factory Children here, July 1903, to dramatize the need for child labor legislation. Born in Ireland, Jones was an organizer and inspiring presence in the U.S. coal, steel, and textile labor movements."
