this is what the office of the wobblies, the iww, in new york city looked like after a raid. this was an office that i'm sure rose was in many times. the first world war created -- whoops -- a rift between rose and graham stokes. she became firmly convinced that it was a terrible mistake for the united states to go to war. he was so enthusiastic about the war that hen listed in the military -- he enlisted in the military, went in the uniform was too old to get sent overseas, but was in the new york national guard for several years. never got closer to combat than marching in parades like this one down fifth avenue. something else that divided rose and graham happened in late 1917, the russian revolution. the second stage of the revolution when the bolsheviks took over. rose was in favor of this, graham stokes was strongly against it. she continued speaking out against american participation in the first world war and now in favor of the russian revolution as well, and this drew the anger of many people including graham's uncle, the angry hotel owner. you remember him. here is

the numbers refer to union halls, iww offices and the like. the blue stars with numbers are offices of suspicious publications, from the naacp magazine to socialist newspapers in english and other languages. the military fear of an uprising was so great, the army actually prepared a contingency plan for putting the united states, the whole country under martial law, complete with the wording of a proclamation the president should issue. happily, things did not reach that point, but it is a reminder of how close to the brink we came. basically, several things happened to still the hysteria. by the early 1920's, the economy picked up, was booming, the on employment rate was low. the russian revolution did not spread to the united states, and the labor movement had been effectively crushed. but those who had been active against the war did not stay put. remember, the young social workers sent to prison for refusing the draft. here he is, decades later outside the supreme court, the institution on which he had a huge impact, because he became the

they were also friends with big bill haywood, the leading figure on the iww, a former minor, cowboy, famous for using his fists when required, long passages of shakespeare by heart. another friend was the journalist john reed. in many ways the liveliest journalist of his generation determined to be at the center of the action. and -- in mexico or russia. and w e b du bois, the greatest by conflictual of his time. and upton sinclair, the jungle, we are food and drug laws. and margaret sanger in the middle, the birth control picture, that is something we take for granted today. the area where she was photographed was set down by the police and sanger was sent to jail. rose was active in the campaign for birth control when talking about such things publicly and was against the law. another friend frequently arrested and shown one of the mug shots, the firebrand and all these folks, many houseguests on location, the period of american life when all these people were active was a remarkable time. it was a time, speaking of the years 1900-1914 or so, many people believe the world could be

the strike was organized by the iww, industrial workers of the world. the wobblies.that's music that we heard before. one big strike of the garment workers in new york city, probably not close enough to read the signs that the strikers are holding up there but remarkable thing to me, is the signs in english russian and yiddish and italian. rose was heavily involved in the strike. speaking to groups strikers often many times each day. and that worker strike which began in 18 oh nine, she really came into our own as an organizer. an immensely popular speaker. and she soon became recognized as one of the great radical people over time. and now the cascade of newspaper stories continued were more about her and they were about them as a couple. and there signs that he was not completely happy about this. most interesting strike that rose got involved in, happen in 1912. it was a strike of hotel and restaurant waiters in new york city. also organized by the wobblies. a wobbly organizer would walk into one restaurant or hotel dining room after another. delmonico's, the hist
