Big Bill Haywood chaired the founding convention of the IWW in 1905 then led the initial IWW organizing efforts.
Stand up! Stand up! Ye workers,
Stand up in all your might.
Unite beneath our banner,
For liberty and right.
From victory unto victory
This army sure will go,
To win the world for labor
And vanquish every foe.
