Excerpt from The I. W. W: Its History, Structure, and Methods
In the fall of 1904 six active workers in the revolutionary labor movement held a conference. After exchanging views and discussing the conditions then confronting the workers of the United States, they decided to issue a call for a larger gathering.
These six workers were Isaac Cowen, American representative of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers of Great Britain, Clarence Smith, general secretary-treasurer of the American Labor Union, Thomas J. Hagerty, editor of the "Voice of Labor," official organ of the A. L. U., George Estes, president of the United Brotherhood of Railway Employes, W. L. Hall, general secretary-treasurer U. B. R. E., and Wm. E. Trautmann, editor of the "Brauer Zeitung," the official organ of the United Brewery Workers of America.
Invitations were then sent out to thirty-six additional individuals who were active in radical labor organizations and the socialist political movement of the United States, inviting them to meet in secret conference in Chicago, Illinois, January 2, 1905.
Of the thirty-six who received invitations, but two declined to attend the proposed conference - Max S. Hayes and Victor Berger - both of whom were in editorial charge of the socialist political party and trade union organs.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history and evolution of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), a labor union founded in 1905. The author provides a detailed account of the I.W.W.'s founding principles, its structure, methods, and struggles, examining the challenges it faced from both within and outside its ranks. Drawing on extensive research, the author places the I.W.W. within the context of the broader labor movement and industrial development of the early 20th century. The book delves into the I.W.W.'s efforts to organize workers across industries, their advocacy of revolutionary industrial unionism, and their use of militant tactics such as strikes and direct action. The author also sheds light on the internal conflicts and ideological debates that shaped the organization's trajectory. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and the challenges faced by labor unions in the face of industrial transformation.
