6. Mine too, what courage and grit. Wish we had more like her, 'The Walking Wrath of God' as

Sinclair Lewis said. She d. 1930 in Silver Spring, MD in the Wash., DC area. What a remarkable life and tremendous force for workers rights and children in this country. I just added a link for a good AFL-CIO bio of her to the OP.
