About this deal

J. F. Billings, 35-year-old cook and IWW member beaten on October 30 at Everett; returned on the day of the Everett Massacre, Everett, November 1916 The Wooblies Crazy Arena contains three Wooblies, one Ultra Rare Wooblie and four collection cards! Slightly heavier than sport weight yarn, this weight is used for items such as garments, apparel and heavier baby items.

A magic loop, also called a magic ring, magic circle, adjustable ring, or adjustable loop, is the preferred way to start crocheting in the round. It’s considered magical because the result has no hole in the middle. AMY GOODMAN: Another clip of The Wobblies. The director, Deborah Shaffer, is with us. There is so much to talk about. But if you could talk about what happened to them in World War I, the Palmer Raids, and their relationship with the more establishment AFL? Ordinance No. 1501 had regulated street speaking, but had been written by socialists and was designed primarily to keep crowds away from the busy Hewitt Avenue thoroughfare. In September of 1916 Everett passed a new and sterner ordinance, No. 1746, which was clearly intended as a punctuation mark to show that the authorities meant business. Over the years, the Everett Massacre has inspired fictional works, plays, documentaries, songs, and many scholarly articles. Of them all, historian Norman H. Clark's Milltown: A Social History of Everett, Washington, published by the University of Washington Press in 1970, stands out as the finest social history of Everett, from its origins to that violent and very bloody Sunday on the city's shore. The day after the Centralia Tragedy, newspapers painted a vile picture of the Wobblies. A November 13, 1919 article in the Eugene Guard described the violent confrontation as a “symptom of impending danger.” The media and the government also stoked xenophobia by claiming that the Wobblies were not Americans. In The Pacific Northwest Quarterly, the historian Donald A. MacPhee explains that “the Wobbly represented at once the disconnected logger of the Northwest woods and the draft-dodging, seditious Bolshevik.” Just like the Bolsheviks, some Americans saw the socialist Wobblies as a threat to the United States. The impending trial was not just a case against the eleven Wobblies, MacPhee argues: It was a case against the labor movement.Throughout the summer of 1909, Wobbly organizers continued their public speaking, but complied with the restrictions of the ordinance. However, Salvation Army evangelists were allowed more leniency for their public proselytizing, and the Wobblies challenged the city for violation of their free speech rights. They called on their membership nationwide to come to Spokane to test the ordinance, and soon Spokane's jails were full of IWW protestors, with more on the way.

BIG BILL” HAYWOOD: Fellow workers, this is a Continental Congress of the working class. I don’t give a snap of my fingers whether skilled workers join this union or not. We don’t need them. There are 35 million workers in this country that aren’t organized yet. What we want to establish at this time is an organization that will open wide its doors to every man or woman that earns his livelihood by brain or muscle. Lace yarn is the same size as size 10 crochet thread. It is very thin and often used to make shawls, doilies, table runners, jewelry, bridal accessories, etc. Fasten off with a long tail. Don’t stuff. Flatten and attach the beak at Rnd 10, centered between the eyes. WingsFormer cannery worker Elof Norman describes his experiences during the Everett Massacre, in an oral history recorded by David Dilgard, 1974

ROGER BALDWIN: They organized the Spruce Division. That’s the way they used the Army as strikebreakers. Across Washington and the rest of the northwest, Wobblies continued to organize for their rights. Starting on June 20, 1917, a strike in the northwest led the lumber industry to be “paralyzed as the workers lay down their tools of production.” The IWW chronological digest of the Centralia case reports that the strikes continued until late 1919, which was around the time of the Centralia Tragedy. And Wobblies were not the only passengers aboard the Verona that day. Oscar Carlson, who was not a member of the IWW, was shot 11 times and sued the steamboat company for his injuries. He did not win.

After relating the events that led up to the November 5th confrontation, Smith followed the court proceedings and recounts the testimony of numerous witnesses, bringing the trial, with its many memorable characters, to life. He wrote passionately in support of the IWW cause, but portrayed Sheriff McRae as a hopeless drunk.
