		At the time the IWW was founded, the AFL was the most powerful labor institution in the United States, but it largely promoted organizing efforts among white, male, skilled workers.
		Soon, there were IWW Industrial Union Locals among miners in the Southwest, lumberers in the Northwest, textile workers in the East, and dockworkers and marine transport workers around the country.
		IWW organizing efforts during the war were thought to be counter to the patriotic spirit of the time and the union's inflammatory language was uncomfortably close to that of radicals in other parts of the world.

	Workers of the World Must Shut Down the Sweatshops!
		The conditions of third world workers can be significantly improved only by their own class-based action against their bosses, backed by workers in the imperialist centres.
		The internationally co-ordinated solidarity actions at ports around the world in support of the Liverpool dockers in the mid-1990s shows that we can break down the divisions caused by nationalist poison and start to build an international workers’ movement capable of challenging the imperialist system.
		We struggle to improve the situation of Chinese workers through a proletarian political revolution which would topple the rule of the bureaucrats who allow the sweatshops to exist, and establish the direct democratic rule of workers’ councils.

	Preamble to the Consitution of the Industrial Workers of the World ::: International Endowment for Democracy
		Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.
		The trade unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars.
		Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers.

	Ted DeCorte' Eclectic Buzz - NEVADA'S RED SCARE: LABOR AND THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD
		Perceiving the IWW, or Wobblies as they were called, as a grave radical threat, citizens adamantly opposed IWW unions in the state.
		Founded in 1905 by a group of prominent socialists, the Industrial (or International) Workers of the World was an effectively organized union challenging "the American way of life." Influenced by Marxian ideology, the Wobblies encouraged workers to overthrow the government, destroy capitalism, and seize the means of production.
		Nevadans had experienced difficulties with the turbulent Industrial Workers of the World prior to World War I. At Goldfield between 1906-1908 and at McGill in 1912 clashes had erupted between IWW-led miners and the mine operators' "guards." Several deaths resulted, leaving a residue of extreme bitterness.

	The First Five Years of the Communist International, Volume 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The uprising of the peasant against the landlord, of the worker against the capitalist, and of both against the monarchical or “democratic” bureaucracy, inevitably brings in its train the uprising of soldiers against the commanders and subsequentlya deep cleavage between the proletarian and bourgeois elements of the army.
		Recognizing the world character of their tasks, the advanced workers have from the very first steps of the organized Socialist movement striven to unify it on an international scale.
		If the First International presaged the future course of development and indicated its paths; if the Second International gathered and organized millions of workers; then the Third International is the International of open mass action, the International of revolutionary realization, the International of the deed.

	May Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement.
		For this reason, in most of the world today, May Day is marked by massive street rallies led by workers, their trade unions, anarchists and various socialist and communist parties.
		Protest marches of over 10,000 workers were formed in response, which eventually led to Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald repealing the anti-union laws and arranging the release of the organizers as well.

		Their idea was to ultimately sign up all the workers in One Big Union, improve their conditions, and eventually call a general strike to decide who was going to run the world -- the workers or the bosses.
		The songs were roared out by Wobblies at meetings, on picket lines, in jails (where IWW men were often put by the dozens and hundreds), on freight trains through South Dakota (filled with migrant harvest hands for the wheat fields), or wherever Wobblies happened to meet.

		The Wobblies, as members of the Industrial Workers of the World were known, were influential in the labor movement at the dawn of the 20th century.
		This sentiment from one of the founders of the International Workers of the World ("IWW") better known to the world as the Wobblies captures the underlying spirit that permeated the Wobblies.
		Having said that, it should be noted that the fondness the contributors have for the IWW does not lessen the quality of the graphics or the quality of the breezy, informative narration.
