IWW Members Killed year by year 1907-1974

By DJ Alperovitz

These maps and timeline detail the deaths of more than 170 I.W.W members. While giving a talk on the Trilogy of I.W.W. martyrs, Joe Hill, Frank Little, and Wesley Everest, the realization came that these were but a few members that had been killed. I then began the I.W.W.s Killed Project, compiling the data represented here. What has been complied is a list of I.W.W. members and innocent bystanders who were killed while organizing, striking, taking direct action, or for carrying a Red Card. These members and bystanders were shot, stabbed, beaten, tortured, starved, strangled, lynched, drowned, disappeared, or executed. Some were killed standing their ground in the company of their Fellow Workers and were buried with ceremony and stone, others died not only alone but also unknown and were consigned to an unmarked paupers grave.

Sources: The I.W.W.s Killed Project was started in 2013 and to date has compiled extensive information on more than 170 victims. Files on each victim can be viewed at the project online archive.

Clarification: After publishing the first list in 2013 a number of I.W.W. members objected to the inclusion of innocent bystanders, miscarriages of women strikers brought on by police violence, or those alleged to have been I.W.W.s. It is my position that we should honor as our own the deaths that occurred during I.W.W. led strikes or during I.W.W. repression. Even if they were not directly involved with our Union, having died in our name they are one of us. Deaths of those that fought in Spain are Wobblies that Indicated their I.W.W. affiliation when enlisting. Some died directly from carrying a Red Card. Some of the names listed have been adjusted to correspond with their families spelling rather than that of the press, previously published works, or even the government’s. Research has identified five I.W.W.s whose names were thought unknown. This is an ongoing project with new materials added periodically as sourced. All errors and omissions are the solely the responsibility of the compiler DJ Alperovitz x364631.
