 JURIST - The Trial of William "Big Bill" Haywood
On May 9, 1907 the case of State of Idaho versus William D. Haywood was called for trial in Judge Fremont Wood's third-floor courtroom of the Ada County Courthouse.
Later, under orders of Haywood and Pettibone, Orchard said that he attempted assassinations of the governor of Colorado, two Colorado Supreme Court justices, and the president of a mining company.
In 1918, Haywood was tried under an espionage and sedition act for urging a strike in a war-sensitive industry, was convicted and sentenced to thirty years in prison.

 "Big" Bill Haywood: A Firey Radical
In 1918 Haywood was convicted of violating federal espionage and sedition laws when he called for a strike during wartime.
When a decision was finally handed down, the United States Supreme Court decried the abduction of the suspects but ruled that the arrests should stand.
By midnight there were rumors that the jury had voted 11-to-1 to convict Haywood, and that the last holdout would soon change sides.

By midnight there were rumors that the vote was 11-to-1 against Haywood, and that the lone hold out would soon give in.
But he also told the jury to weigh the unseen factors of life in America, beyond Bill Haywood.
Pinkertons grumbled that one or more of the jurors had been bribed by the Western Federation of Miners.

The prosecution team was led by James Hawley, a pioneer Idaho lawyer and legend, and William Borah, just elected Idaho senator [he was not seated until after the trial].
The Haywood trial opened in early May 1907, with Judge Fremont Wood presiding.
Most partisans readily conceded that all attorneys functioned splendidly and that Judge Wood presided fairly.

Big Bill called the convention to order by pounding a piece of board on the podium.
Although the prosecution had a weak legal case, the radical reputation of the Wobblies influenced the jury, which found all of them guilty.
The socialists at the convention, like Eugene V. Debs, wanted the IWW to engage in politics and elections.

When Upton Sinclair was arrested for reading the U.S. Bill of Rights to an assembly of striking I.W.W. dockworkers at Liberty Hill in San Pedro CA in 1923, it was front page news.
Acclaimed attorney Clarence Darrow's brilliant defense resulted in a 'not guilty' verdict, and Haywood walked away a free man, though grown more militant from his long incarceration.

Q.--About the political action we had in Milwaukee: there we didn't have Industrial Unionism, we won by the ballot; and while we haven't compelled the government to pass any bills yet, we are at it now.
It's a system of slavery from which free people ought to break away.
But you really don't think that Congressman Berger is going to compel the government to pass any bills in Congress?

After the “Reds” were defeated at the convention, Haywood was expelled from the party’s National Executive Committee.
The leaders of the Bolshevik Party, who led the Russian Revolution of 1917, had great respect for Haywood and other IWW militants although they had political differences with the IWW over the kind of workers’ party that needed to be built to lead a revolutionary struggle.
Haywood spent the last years of his life alone and isolated, unable to play a role in the workers’ movement.

 Bigger Bill Haywood
Ninety-nine and a half years ago, "Big Bill" Haywood declared the adoption of the constitution of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) the "Declaration of Independence for the Working-Class." While the One Big Union carries on the fight, Haywood's part in the struggle ended with his death and burial in Moscow in 1928.
The proposed Stockbroker Welfare Act of 2005, on the heals of the Big Pharma Welfare Act of 2004, once again demonstrates Bush's contempt for workers in the United States.
It was not until the early 1990s that through the dint of the efforts of family friends that he was able to utilize his family's political connections (remember, when Bush I was his eminence) to gain the gift of a minor share of a baseball team, the Texas Rangers.

Not to mention Haywood’s successes in his every day life, he was also able to work his way up in the ranks of the WFM, the Western Federation of Miners, to being second in command.
Not only did his strong will cause him to be successful, but his desensitization towards violence had also allowed him to push his success to further limits.

Despite his disreputable past, Orchard was promised immunity in exchange for his testimony that Bill Haywood, Charles Moyer, and George Pettibone, all leaders of the Western Federation of Miners, were co-conspirators in the murder.
Their was no warrant for his arrest, but there was no use resisting the armed Salt Lake City deputies who were under orders to take Haywood into custody that night.

Frey and his cohorts are old and tiring; Butte has just started.
From its agony was born the Industrial Workers of the World, America's first truly proletarian revolutionary movement.
In 1914 the I. W., charging Butte's local had become a company union, smashed it with blood and dynamite; but the Wobbly union which followed lasted less than a year, being broken by impeachment of Butte's Socialist mayor, harboring of troops in the city, and sentencing of its leaders for "kidnapping" scabs.

The contrast between the revolutionary leader of the Western Federation of Miners, Big Bill Haywood, and the reformist leader of the United Mine Workers, John Mitchell, could not be starker.
Mitchell, on the other hand, enjoyed socializing with powerful politicians and businessmen.
