INTRODUCTION
In June and July 1905 leading American Socialists, left-wing trade unionists, and assorted radicals met
in Chicago to found a new labor organization that would serve as an alternative to the more moderate and
exclusive American Federation of Labor (AFL). During the sessions, which featured the contributions of
such famous American radicals as Eugene V. Debs, William D. "Big Bill" Haywood, Daniel DeLeon,
Lucy Parsons (the widow of Haymarket martyr Albert Parsons), and Mary "Mother" Jones (the coal
miners' angel), the participants created a new revolutionary labor organization committed to the
destruction of capitalism. The Industrial Workers of the World, or IWW and Wobblies, as the new
organization came to be better known, amalgamated an unlikely and fractious group of radical men and
women. For the previous fifteen years Debs and DeLeon, for example, had been the most bitter of
enemies; yet in Chicago they shook hands over what DeLeon described as the "bloody chasm of the
past." Apparently the parents of the IWW were able to sublimate their often rancorous and divisive
personal and political differences in order to reject unanimously AFL-style trade unionism. The result of
their common effort was the creation of the most radical, mass labor organization in United States history.
At first, however, the IWW seemed to have been stillborn. Between 1905 and 1908, it barely survived
infancy. Debs and DeLeon quickly resumed their bloody warfare, as members of the Socialist Party of
America (Debs' organization) and the Socialist Labor party (DeLeon's group) brought their political
battles inside the IWW. At the same time, so-called "revolutionary" unionists fought with their more
moderate trade union brothers and sisters. To compound the internal disarray, "Big Bill" Haywood and
Charles Moyer, the leaders of the largest single trade union affiliate of the IWW•the Western Federation
of Miners (indeed many observers claimed that the IWW at birth was merely the WFM in disguise)•
were imprisoned on murder charges by the state of Idaho in 1906. While Haywood and Moyer spent
almost two years in jail and in court before being acquitted of all charges, the IWW tore itself apart. First,
Debs and his supporters walked out in anger at DeLeon's influence. Next, the WFM, under an
increasingly moderate new leadership, left the IWW. Finally, in 1908, a majority among the remaining
members expelled DeLeon and his most fervent followers. Upon his release from prison in 1908, even
Haywood, the chair at the 1905 convention, declined to associate with what remained of the IWW.
Yet, having barely survived infancy, the IWW after 1909 achieved notoriety as the most militant and
dangerous organization on the American left. Under the leadership of Vincent St John (1908-1915) and
"Big Bill" Haywood, who returned to active membership in 1911 (1915-1918), the IWW became famous
for the type of workers it sought to organize and also for its singular ideology and tactics. At the time
when the American labor movement appealed primarily to more skilled workers, the IWW recruited
among unskilled and exploited immigrants, nonwhites, and migrant workers. To poverty-wracked
workers who often lacked the right to vote and who despised the institutions of government that had so
often oppressed them, the IWW promised a nonpolitical revolution that would free them from wage
slavery. Its leaders and spokespeople explained that once all the nation's workers combined into one big
union they would have sufficient strength to begin the social general strike, which would displace the
capitalists from power and place the workers in possession of the means of production and distribution. In
Haywood's own words at the moment of the general strike, "control of industry will pass from the
capitalists to the masses and the capitalists will vanish from the face of the earth." And when that day
came, he added, "diere will be a new society...in which there will be no battle between capitalist and
wage earner, but...every man will have free access to land and its resources. In that day...the machinery
can be made the slave of the people instead of a part of the people being made the slave of the
machinery."
The Wobblies called their revolutionary society "in which each worker will have a share in the
ownership and a voice in the control of industry, and in which each shall receive the full product of his
labor" variously the workers' commonwealth, industrial democracy, and sometimes even industrial
communism. Whatever they called it, these American radicals who proposed to make a revolution
without political organization and through direct action at the point of production shared a common
perspective with those European labor left-wingers known as syndicalists. As one contemporary of the
Wobblies noted, notwithstanding superficial variations caused by different economic and political
traditions in various countries, the "living spirit of revolutionary purpose unifies French and British
syndicalism and American industrial unions (the IWW)."
Syndicalism, as preached and practiced in the IWW, was intended to attract and motivate the
oppressed, the exploited, the embittered, the poorly paid, overworked, unorganized men and women the
Wobblies sought to recruit. It is not intellectuals and elites who count for us, said one Wobbly, no, "it is
the obscure Bill Jones on the firing line, with stink in his clothes, rebellion in his brain, hope in his heart,
determination in his eye and direct action in his gnarled fist"
For ten years between 1909 and 1918 the IWW took its message of direct action and revolutionary
aims to hundreds of thousands of Bill and Betty Joneses. It fought with them for free speech on the street
comers and public places of such cities as Spokane, Washington, Missoula, Montana, Fresno and San
Diego, California, and Minot, South Dakota. After all, it was only in those public spaces that the IWW
could directly address large numbers of migratory workers who wintered in cities or lingered there
between jobs in the woods, on the farms, and on construction. The IWW's fights for free speech in urban
America, moreover, first brought the organization to the attention of the Justice Department during the
administration of William Howard Taft (1909-1913). State and local officials urged the federal
government to take legal action against subversives who regularly crossed state lines. In 1911 and 1912,
however, Washington saw no constitutional grounds for action although federal officials felt equally
antipathetic to the Wobblies. While the IWW fought for free speech, it also battled for higher wages,
shorter hours, and better working conditions in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, the woods of the Pacific
Northwest and southwest Louisiana, the textile mills of New England and the mid-Atlantic states, and
wherever workers needed a union presence. Despite the IWW's rising militancy between 1909 and 1911,
despite its constant battles with employers and public officials in every region of the nation, it never
numbered more than 18,000 paid-up members in those years.
Then, in January 1912, the IWW assumed the leadership of a theretofore spontaneous and successful
walkout staged by 20,000 immigrant textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The Lawrence strike
transformed the IWW's leaders and organizers•Haywood, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Joseph Ettor, and
Arturo Giovannitti•into nationally known radical celebrities. Their surprising victory in Lawrence and
success in unionizing a polyglot labor force consisting of Italian, Polish, Jewish, French-Canadian, and
even Syrian immigrants, transformed the IWW into an organization that many contemporaries feared was
capable of making a revolution in the United States. Fresh from their success in New England, the
Wobblies took their crusade among unorganized workers to Little Falls, New York, Akron, Ohio, and
most notably in 1913 Paterson, New Jersey. The Paterson silk strike received even more publicity than
the previous year's battle in Lawrence. It also produced one of the most famous events in American labor
history, the Paterson Pageant, a dramatization of the strike written, produced, and staged by John Reed
with the help of other Greenwich Village intellectuals and enacted at Madison Square Garden in
Manhattan before an audience of thousands. Unlike the strike in Lawrence, however, the one in Paterson
ended in failure, a defeat that coincided with the onset of a sharp economic contraction between 1913 and
19IS that increased unemployment and decimated trade unionism, especially among the less skilled
whom the IWW organized. Once again the IWW seemed as feeble as it had been first in 1908 and then in
1911, causing St John to resign as the organization's top official in 1915.
World War I revived die IWW's fortunes. As war orders poured into the country from the belligerents
in Europe, the American economy boomed and employment tightened. The IWW again became a real
presence among agricultural workers in the plains states and the valleys of California; copper miners in
Arizona and Montana; lumber workers in the Pacific Northwest; and iron miners on the Mesabi Range of
northern Minnesota. Under the astute leadership of Bill Haywood, who replaced St. John as general
VI
secretary treasurer, and Arthur Nef, who headed the newly formed Agricultural Workers' Organization
(AWO), the IWW rapidly increased its membership and won improved conditions for many of its
members. As the organization's health and strength grew, employers and state officials once more turned
to Washington for assistance in their efforts to curb labor radicalism. This time they looked to President
Woodrow Wilson and his Justice Department, which in 1915 began an investigation of. the IWW to
determine whether there were grounds for federal action. In 1915, as in 1911 and 1912, the federal
government determined that constitutionally, any violence, crime, or subversion committed by members
of the IWW fell solely within the purview of the states. But that was before the United States entered the
war as a belligerent.
After April 1917 and the United States' declaration of war, the IWW became a federal problem. Soon
after that date, the IWW reached its peak of nearly 150,000 paid-up members, a total that reflected more
than a half-million workers passing through its ranks in the course of a year: Even more startling, the
Wobblies were proving ¿themselves an effective presence in several sectors of the economy vital to the
war effort•wheat, copper, and lumber productions as well as shipping. Employers and state officials
from Minnesota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and California continued to urge President Wilson to act
against the IWW. This time the president acted, at first hesitantly and then decisively. He ordered federal
troops to guard vital industries in the western states and he authorized military intelligence to gather
information about the IWW. In practice, the army played no small part in breaking strikes led by the
IWW as well as in gathering "intelligence." Wilson also ordered the Justice Department to begin
surveillance of the Wobblies and, especially, to seek evidence of sabotage and subversion. Between May
and August 1917, the Bureau of Investigation in the Justice Department found no hard evidence against
the IWW. Yet, as strikes associated with the IWW affected industries vital to the war effort and state
officials in the west continued to demand federal action, Wilson perceived no choice but to act against the
Wobblies. In August 1917 he unleashed the Justice Department against the Wobblies in an effort to
gather enough evidence to prosecute IWW members in federal courts. In September 1917 agents from the
Justice Department raided IWW offices throughout the nation and shortly thereafter served warrants on
the organization's entire leadership, far more than 200 men and women. The bulk of the leaders,
including the most famous, were held for trial in Chicago; the remainder of lesser officials faced charges
in federal courtrooms in Wichita, Sacramento, and Omaha. During the trials, which occurred in Chicago
in 1918 and Sacramento and Wichita in 1919 (the Omaha prisoners were eventually released without
trial), the prosecution based its case on materials gathered by the Justice Department and intelligence
amassed by the department's agents. Throughout the trials the Justice Department spied on the indictees,
their families, their friends, their associates, and their fellow workers in the IWW. The trials themselves
produced the expected result•without exception, juries convicted the defendants, most of whom were
sentenced to terms in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas.
The IWW never recovered from its repression during the war years. The states finished what the
federal government started by enacting "criminal syndicalism" laws that made membership in the IWW
of and by itself a crime. Moreover, the direct federal surveillance of the IWW that began during the war
was to continue for the next four decades. Military intelligence, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s,
continued to keep track of IWW members, sometimes imagining subversive conspiracies where none
existed. So, too, did the Justice Department, which read all the correspondence of the Leavenworth
inmates, spied on them after they were pardoned by President Harding, and ran surveillance on all the
members of the IWW even when the organization was at its weakest. Probably at no time in its history
after 1918 was the IWW without members directly or indirectly in employ of the Justice Department.
During the peak years of the Cold War between 1947 and 1955, when the IWW had few members, lacked
influence at the point of production, and acted in a decidedly anti-Soviet, anti-Stalinist fashion, it merited
inclusion on the attorney general's list of subversive organizations. As a consequence, there is probably
no better set of records with which to investigate the IWW" s history from its peak of influence during the
World War I years through its subsequent decline and erratic course over the next five decades than the
records of the Department of Justice.

at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
EDITORIAL NOTE
The Department of Justice's records relating to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)
microfilmed here fall into two parts: the Straight Numerical Files found in the General Correspondence
collection of Record Group 60 and the Pardon Attorney Files of Record Group 204.
University Publications of America (UPA) made its selection of files to microfilm after an extensive
search of archival indexes for names of prominent IWW members, IWW-affiliated unions and
companies being struck.
UPA decided to microfilm the Pardon Attorney records of Record Group 204 because they are a
continuation of the IWW files of Record Group 60. A major feature of this series is the transcript of the
C. W. Anderson hearing, a pivotal IWW case.
IX
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The records of The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) at the National Archives regarding the activities
of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) can be found in various Straight Numerical Files in
Record Group 60. The Political Prisoners Files of the Pardon Attorney are located in Record Group 204.
This edition was compiled following a systematic survey of both collections.
Straight Numerical Files
The straight numerical system of record keeping at the DOJ came into existence in 1904. This method
assigned each case a six-digit number as the case was opened. The Straight Numerical Files run in
numerical order on a case-by-case basis regardless of the subject This also means that it runs in a rough
chronological order as each file was assigned a number higher than the previous one when it was opened.
The documents within each section run in reverse chronological order. As a result of this arrangement,
the chronological beginning of each case is at the end of the first section and the chronological end of the
series is at the start of the final section.
The records microfilmed in this series generally concern the political creed of the IWW, its labor
organizing and subsequent labor actions, its efforts to defend itself against prosecution through the U.S.
legal system and the policies of the DOJ toward the organization. The documents provide a first-hand
account of IWW activities through correspondence, reports, and memos of the IWW, U.S. attorneys, U.S.
marshals, state and local officials, and various businessmen and individuals. Extensive coverage is given
to appeals made on behalf of the accused by numerous unions, not all of them IWW-affiliated. These
files also delve into such topics as deportation of IWW members, IWW agitation among the black
populace, and the question of bolshevism among its members.
Political Prisoner Files
The five reels consisting of the Pardon Attorney Files regarding IWW prisoners contain six separate
subject files. These files are subdivided into individual case folders as well as general information folders
for each file. The individual case folders are generally filmed in alphabetical order within each separate
file. The general folders usually follow the individual case folders with the exception of File 39-240,
where the general file leads off the series and the Political Prisoners (Haywood case) collection brings up
the rear of the file; however, the next file, 39-241, begins with the Political Prisoners (Sacramento case)
before moving on to the individual case folders and finally concluding with a small general file.
The Pardon Attorney records contain documents that are related to the potential release of each
prisoner. The prisoners in question have generally been convicted of violating such wartime legislation as
the Espionage Act of 1917 through their activities on behalf of the IWW. Each file typically contains an
application for executive clemency; reports on the prisoner's behavior; a report by the U.S. attorney
general on the prisoner's status, along with a recommendation; a set of rules relating to applications for
pardon; appeals for release, and the question of deportation for those of foreign birth. This series includes
some documents relating to the individual's activities before imprisonment. The most prominent feature
of these records is the entire transcript of the C. W. Anderson trial.
Previously Restricted Material
Both the Straight Numerical Files in Record Group 60 and the Pardon Attorney Files of Record Group
204 contain some enclosures known as Previously Restricted Material. As its name implies, these are
records that at one time were not available to researchers. Most of these documents were related to the
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and were kept restricted by the FBI. The records in question were
subsequently reexamined and released and are now found in Previously Restricted Material files
following the case file they were originally part of.
