At the end of July, 1903, Mary Harris (also known as Mother Jones), lead a caravan of striking children from the textile mills of Lexington, Pennsylvania, to the home of President Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, New York, to call attention to the problems of child labor. During the demonstration, she said: "Hear the wail of the children, who never have a chance to go to school, but work ten to eleven hours a day in the textile mills." In a letter to the president, she stated: "I have espoused the cause of the laboring class in general and of suffering children in particular. The children [must be] freed from the workshops and sent to school".
