Talk:History of the Industrial Workers of the World

Rayback history of the Sherman Trautmann split
John G. Rayback's A History of American Labor differs from other sources, asserting that Sherman lasted until the 1907 IWW convention, and actually had overwhelming support from a conservative faction in the IWW. I'm wondering if he got the two 1907 conventions confused. May also have a bearing on his assertion that the WFM left the Sherman IWW in 1911. My impression, the Sherman IWW ceased to exist long before. I am quite sure that Rayback is wrong, but i want to confirm this. Richard Myers (talk) 12:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Dubofsky, Foner, and Haywood all appear to disagree with Rayback's timeline. However, Brissenden is a possible source for Rayback's 1907 convention, as he goes back and forth between the 1906 and 1907 conventions in a confusing manner. Fred W. Thompson mentions that the Sherman faction held the office until June, 1908, and then dissolved. Further research needed, need to look at this when i'm not tired.

Shocking lack of information post-1924
Were someone to read this article, they would have no idea that the IWW continues to organize or exist to this day.--User:Namiba 15:05, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
