  According to NYTimes obit (see link below), Adolph Lessig "gained nationwide publicity during the silk strike of 1913 when he led the strike as the business agent of the International Workers of the World." He was associated with William Haywood, a famous labor leader. (Where are all the silk workers now? What did they do then?) select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0614FB3A59107A... Lessig&st=cse
