A radical social movement, the IWW, evolved during the early teens and coopted the labor movement in several industries nation-wide. One of their goals was to stymie the US war effort by calling strikes. At Bisbee, the strikers and sympathizers were forcible rounded up, marched to Warren where many were loaded into boxcars and deported. This postcard view shows the strikers, under guard, marching past the Junction Mine.
