Five named men stand together as the committee of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), the radical labor union known as the Wobblies, in this April 11, 1914 photograph. The record gives only their surnames, Sullivan, Caron, Flunkett, Turner, and Woolman, and does not say what business brought them together. The picture is a news photograph from the Bain News Service, a New York agency whose pictures of public figures and events were widely sold to newspapers. The I.W.W. was then pressing organizing drives and strikes across industries that had few other unions, and the spring of 1914 was a tense time in labor disputes, with the Colorado coal fields becoming a flashpoint within weeks.
