[applause] i just want to start by reading a brief interpret from the introduction -- excerpt from the introduction, and then i want to talk some about the book, and jon's going to play some more music as well. the introduction is called "coast wasn't any -- don't waste any time mourning." it was a funeral the likes of which chicago had never seen. as early as dawn, they began gathering, a great single swarm of humanity. tens of thousands of the city's dispossessed and disinherited. this is a quote. the ghetto, the slums, the logging house quarters and the manufacturing districts are buzzing with anticipation, the chicago daily tribune reported that morning adding that, quote, handbills in a dozen different languages had urged awe ten dance. by 10:00 when the service begun, 5,000 mourners including anarchists, unionists, socialists, knew hi lists and ordinary nond

and he told them at that point that joe hill was a member of the industrial workers of the world. ard, an iww membership card in his pocket, and it was at that point that frank wilson was released from custody and quickly fled the state. and that was it for joe hill. he never had another free day. he would be in prison for the next 22 months before he was executed. so the trial itself was really a kangaroo court. the all right and the judge -- the prosecutor and the judge worked hand in glove together. if prosecutor was asking leading questions but the judge didn't think they were leading enough, he would take over the questioning. and the judge gave some jury instructions at the end of the case that violated standard of proof in utah, and there were just many, many problems with the trial. um, nevertheless, hill was convicted, he was financed the death -- sentenced to death, and it was at that point that the iww kicked into high gear a campaign to try to spare joe hill's life. and they organized rallies in every major american city and not just in the cities, but in mining camps a
