Haywood was sentenced to 20 years in prison and a fine of $30,000, however, released on bail during the appeal, Haywood fled to Russia.

  Bill Haywood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood (February 4, 1869–May 18, 1928) was a prominent figure in American radical unionism as a leader in the Western Federation of Miners (WFM) and later as a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
Haywood was defended by Clarence Darrow; the prosecutor was William Borah, afterward Senator from Idaho.
Despite Haywood's involvement in the IWW, which was heavily influenced by anarcho-syndicalism, he was a longtime member of the Socialist Party of America, and often pleaded with workers to vote in elections.

 Faces of Protest: "Big" Bill Haywood
Haywood was becoming more militant in his approach to labor conflicts, and Moyer was convinced that compromise and negotiation were the most effective tools for workers to use in dealing with the system.
Haywood was at the center of a string of dramatic labor conflicts that shook the nation in the years leading to America's entry into World War One.
Haywood encouraged numerous strikes throughout the nation, and forged an image of the IWW as a group that would use any means at its disposal to change a system it despised.

 William H. Cathey (1815) and Nancy Matilda Carter of Haywood, Jackson and Swain Co, NC and Union and Towns Co, GA
William would have been 4 or 5 years old by the time of the 1820 census, so he should be enumerated in the "Under 10" age group (born ca 1810/20).
William H. is probably in the 15-19 age group as his younger brother Samuel was born 1818 and would be the one in the younger category.
William H. Cathey did not appear on the 1840 census, but I’m fairly sure that he and his wife were residing with his parents in Union County, for they had people in their household whose ages that matched William, Nancy and their first child Rebecca.

 PBS - THE WEST - William "Big Bill" Haywood
Haywood rose quickly in the union ranks, becoming secretary and president of his local, joining the national union's General Executive Board in 1900, and editing the union's magazine and serving as secretary-treasurer in 1901.
The defeat of the strikes led Haywood to stress the need for "one big union" which could bring broader support to individual labor struggles; accordingly, in 1905 he played a key role in the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), commonly referred to as "the Wobblies."
The jury acquitted Haywood, but businessmen and fellow labor leaders would continue to fear and even hate Haywood for his alleged endorsement of violence and sabotage.

 Reader's Companion to American History - -HAYWOOD, WILLIAM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-06)
Haywood's experiences with "class warfare" in Colorado convinced him that American workers must unite into "one big union." Thus in 1905 he presided at the founding convention of the Industrial Workers of the World (iww, or Wobblies).
That convention made Haywood one of the nation's best-known labor radicals, a man described as possessing two rare qualities, "genuine power and genuine simplicity." In 1906 Idaho imprisoned Haywood for complicity in the murder of former governor Frank Steunenberg.
Haywood's life and career graphically exemplified the indigenous roots of American working-class radicalism as well as the savage treatment the rulers of a liberal democracy accorded their most contentious domestic adversaries.

Haywood’s argument is that the poorest 10% of South Koreans, now matter how little wealth they control, are still far, far better off than the richest 10% of North Koreans.
Haywood, are an apologist for the totalitarian misery inflicted on the people of N. Korea, and I do not think you possess a more “developed moral sensibility” through your justification of such atrocity for the sake of your utopian idea.
In both instances, Haywood reveals a variety of things, not least of which is (a) his own set of values, which are, presumptively, of interest to him, and perhaps even his family and friends, but most assuredly no one else ; and (b) a woeful ignorance of economics, and, indeed, logic.

 William "Big Bill" Hayward
His speeches were very powerful, and it encouraged the workers to stand up for themselves, whether the wanted to stop wage deductions, or make their working conditions better.
Although Bill Haywood may sound like a scary man, considering he has one eye, and is big and tall, they people that met him before would say that he is just the opposite.
William "Big Bill" Haywood was put in jail for disapproving World War I. It was just another lame excuse for the government to arrest the members of IWW, especially Bill.

William Haywood Brown (Willie), son of William Haywood Brown, Sr., and Eleanor Harrison Brown was born October 12, 1843, in Perrysville, Indiana (Vermillion County).
William was probably enticed to enter the 11th Indiana Regiment because family friends, John Charles “Charley” and William Black, had become members of the Regiment (there were apparently other Danville, Illinois, residents who enlisted in the 11th Indiana Regiment, as well).
It is interesting to note that the Black brothers soon left the 11th Indiana Regiment to become members of the 37th Illinois Regiment, known as the “Fremont Rifles.” John Charles and William Perkins Black both received Medals of Honor--“Charley” for his actions at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, and William for actions at Pea Ridge, Arkansas.

Comment by Ken Lindsay: This is an important marker because it shows us that this William Bryan, whom I believe to be a cousin of Michael Bryant, lived in Bertie Precinct 15 Aug 1743, but formerly lived somewhere within the bounds of Edgecombe County as it was in 1743.
