abstract
  • William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood (February 4, 1869 – May 18, 1928), was a founding member and leader of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and a member of the Executive Committee of the Socialist Party of America. He was involved in several important labor battles throughout the United States at the beginning of the 20th Century. Haywood was an advocate of industrial unionism, a labor philosophy that favors organizing all workers in an industry under one union, regardless of the specific trade or skill level. He was also advocated multi-ethnic unions. Haywood was tried in 1907 for the murder of a former Idaho governor who had once set soldiers to attack Haywood's labor union, but was acquitted. He was convicted of violating the Espionage Act of 1917, and fled to the Soviet Union. He lived out the rest of his life there, dying in 1928.
