Very nice monument in this cemetery, dedicated to the memory of Mother Jones, and the miners and other laborers who fought and died for the right to work and to be safe at work. It's amazing to see the signs here commemorating people killed in riots in my own hometown of Springfield Illinois, October 19,.1933 and April 21, 1935 and May 27, 1936. No matter what your feelings about unions today, these people helped to make the workplace better for us all today.
