Haywood, William Dudley

(nicknamed Big Bill). Born Feb. 4, 1869, in Salt Lake City, Utah; died May 18, 1928, in Moscow. Figure in the US labor movement.

Haywood was a miner’s son. He worked as a miner and took part in miners’ strikes and demonstrations. In 1896 he joined the Western Federation of Miners and in 1901 became the union’s secretary-treasurer. In 1901, Haywood joined the Socialist Party of the USA, allying himself with the party’s left wing. He was one of the leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, an organization that he helped found in 1905. He struggled against the opportunistic line espoused by the leadership of the Socialist Party and for a time was influenced by anarchosyndicalist ideas. Haywood welcomed the October Revolution in Russia. In 1919 he joined the Communist Labor Party of America. He was repeatedly subjected to repression for his revolutionary activity. In 1921, while gravely ill, Haywood emigrated to the USSR. There he worked for the International Organization for Aid to Revolutionaries.
