“Is It About To Strike?”

After achieving victory in Spokane, the IWW moved on to Fresno where organizer Frank Little had been arrested for attempting to organize the agricultural workers of the San Joaquin Valley thought street meetings. This cartoon shows that in Fresno, Wobblies not only courted violent beatings from the police but from the vigilante mobs as well.

Illustration from the IWW publication the Industrial Worker on October 1, 1910.
