W.D. Haywood (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Big Bill Haywood, the labor leader, is tagged in another LoC/Flickr photo, see tags above. "The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), under the leadership of William D. "Big Bill" Haywood, advocated a confrontational strategy that embraced violent tactics if necessary to win strikes, mobilize public opinion, or exact revenge for capitalist crimes. The "Wobblies," as they were known, were a small percentage of the Socialist movement, but they had an influence out of proportion to their numbers." (from Lewis I Gould: Four Hats in the Ring, the 1912 Election and the Birth of Modern American Politics, pg 108).
