I know this organization, sadly, is a mere shadow of its former self but the name evokes strong memories of "Big Bill" Haywood, the martyred Joe Hill, Vincent St.John, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn in her younger days, the young James P. Cannon, the martyred labor organizer Frank Little, and also a million other things that were good and honorable about the part of the American labor movement under its influence at the turn of the 20th century. As the 21st century turns we can still learn a lot from those old time labor militants who won their spurs in the IWW.
