Wobblies Aren't So Wobbly Nowadays

- [It's pretty nice to see this on MSNBC, even though it somehow
fails to omit the words "anarchism" and "anarchist", and makes
a pretty big error in the line "A syndicalist favors bringing
government and industry under control of labor unions" --
practically all syndicalists are anarcho-syndicalists who advocate
abolishing government altogether. It also fails to mention the
IWW's role in the recent protest movement, in which many members
have played an important part. -- DC]
The IWW:
Wobblies arent so wobbly nowadays
Wobblies preaching radical labor message to new generation
Iconoclastic IWW still trying to unionize the world
By Dru Sefton
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4 The Wobblies, diehard
iconoclasts of the labor movement, are still
around. Still organizing. Still looking to transform
the world order.
OVER THE LAST few years, the tiny yet feisty
Industrial Workers of the World has seen its membership
grow to 1,000 worldwide, up from a low of fewer than
100 in the early 1960s.
And those members remain true to the concept of one
big union. Theyre radical syndicalists, as they have been
since the IWWs founding in 1905 in Chicago. (Quick labor
history review: A syndicalist favors bringing government and
industry under control of labor unions by means of direct
action, such as general strikes and, if need be, sabotage.)
They fight to transfer all profits and power from bosses
to workers, because its the workers who do all the work.
That victory would form the shell of a new society, they say
as they have said, loudly, for all these years.
Their idealistic battle was ignited generations ago by
Wobblies who became legendary: Mother Jones, who
agitated for labor rights into her 90s and inspired a magazine
that still bears her name. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a
co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union. Balladeer
Joe Hill, whose last words were Dont waste time in
mourning. Organize. Eugene Debs, who helped create the
Socialist Party in America.
That the Wobblies still exist, much less are growing,
runs against a decades-long decline in mainstream U.S.
labor union membership. It hit a high of 27 percent of the
workforce in 1953; its current 14 percent is an all-time low,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The IWW has made inroads recently, organizing
bookstores, small shops, college-student workers and
temporary employees.
The national IWW headquarters shifted this year from
Ypsilanti, Mich., to Philadelphia, site of former glory days:
Back in 1916, all but two of the bustling docks at this port
were under IWW control.
And now, the top Wob is a young woman. She is
Alexis Buss, a slight, 27-year-old, freckled Philadelphian
who wears her IWW cap backward. Buss was elected in
January, after pledging to make the IWW a cohesive
fighting organization, rather than a collection of isolated
activists to reinvigorate the IWW, once known and
feared as the fighting union.
No one remembers exactly why members are called
Wobblies, or Wobs for short, as they have been since the
early 1900s. Some say its symbolic of the wobble saw,
mounted to cut a groove wider than the saw is thick. Others
think its based on an immigrants mispronunciation of the
letters IWW eye wobble-you-wobble-you.
From its founding, Wobblies have made up one intense
They wrote and sang the most enduring labor songs,
including Solidarity Forever, Rebel Girl and The
Preacher and the Slave, origin of the phrase pie in the
They staged dramatic job actions: In 1912, Wobs led
10,000 strikers at American Woolen Co. mills in Lawrence,
Mass., forcing managers to give workers significant pay
raises. Strikers were beaten, and a female worker was
killed by shots from the swarms of 22,000 military police.
They were famous for their propaganda: Keep warm,
burn out the rich. The boss needs you, you dont need
him. Good pay or bum work.
Theyve constantly fought for a seemingly unattainable
goal: As the preamble to the IWW constitution reads, a
struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize
as a class, take possession of the means of production,
abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the
Buss heads a movement based on ideals that, ironically,
hinder it from gaining any real power.
The IWW is a pure democracy, controlled by its rank
and file without a traditional leadership structure. Dues start
at just $5 a month, so its perpetually cash-poor.
Members, tasked with literally organizing the entire
world, are themselves difficult to corral. Most are
independent thinkers who lean toward the cantankerous.
They are socialists, atheists, intellectuals, dreamers. Some
have multiple piercings and tattoos; others have gray
Even determining just how many Wobblies there are is
tricky. It varies by month, when people pay their dues,
Buss said. There is no demographic information on the
thousand or so members. (By comparison, the AFL-CIO
has about 13 million members.)
Wobbly locals are active across the country, from
Boston (Education Workers Industrial Union 620) to San
Francisco (Marine Transport Workers Industrial Union
510). There also are branches in England, Australia and
South Africa traditional Wobbly strongholds, Buss
Tradition is what lures, and inspires, most Wobblies.
I believe in unionism, that all labor unions must come
together, said Miriam Fried of Philadelphia, who was fired
after trying to organize a Borders bookstore in Philadelphia
in 1996. The Wobblies are the most dedicated union
around. I believe workers should make their own decisions.
In the IWW, its direct democracy, from the bottom up.
Sharon Vance, another Philadelphia Wobbly, said the
IWW has the big advantages without the big disadvantages
of other unions.
That includes representing workers usually overlooked.
Even if its a workplace with just two people and one
boss, were there to organize, she said.
The IWW reached their real peak during World War I, said
Melvyn Dubofsky, a history professor at Binghamton
University-State University of New York
and author of We Shall Be All: A History of the Industrial
Workers of the World. So, actually, theyve survived as a
miniscule force for more than 80 years.
Along the way, the passionate Wobblies have become
part of the cultural texture of America, he said. They appear
as characters in Dashiell Hammetts Red Harvest, in John
Dos Passos U.S.A Trilogy and in From Here to
Eternity by James Jones.
Not to mention the enduring myth of larger-than-life
Wobbly martyr Joe Hill, executed by a Utah firing squad for
a murder that many insist he didnt commit.
As the song goes, And standing there as big as life, /
And smiling with his eyes, / Joe says, What they forgot to
kill / Went on to organize, / Went on to organize.
What union bosses forgot to kill was the Wobbly
dream of one union for all, regardless of race, nationality,
sex, income or occupation.
Different people and different generations find parts of
that dream that appeals to them, Dubofsky said.
And that is what keeps the movement going. Just barely.
Buss is a pragmatist. When she took over, the IWW
had an $8,000 deficit; now its solvent. She aims to be able
to accept a small salary so she can drop her part-time
typesetting job. She wants to reach out to younger retail
workers and workers toiling too many hours without
overtime. She hopes to circulate more literature, increase
the Wobbly Web presence, organize job actions, build cash
reserves and, of course, sign up more members.
And she has one more goal:
After his cremation, Joe Hills ashes were divided and
sent to IWW delegates to be scattered around the world. A
small pillbox of his remains, after taking a circuitous route,
finally ended up back at the headquarters of the IWW, the
union Hill helped make famous.
Id like to get an urn, but we cant afford it, Buss
said. Well have to raise some money.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Professional Ratings: 89 Wine Spectator
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Style: Big & Bold
Alcohol By Volume: 14.1%
Item no. 108649
76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Syrah, 1% Lemberger.
For Hogue Genesis, we seek wine grapes from the most distinctive vineyard sites in Eastern Washington. For the 2007 vintage, we selected fruit from the choicest sites in Washington for Cabernet Sauvignon. Very ripe, full-flavored Cabernet was harvested from vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills and Wahluke Slope, where desert-like conditions of warm days, cool nights, and constant, drying winds allow fruit to fully ripen without threat of disease. We also selected grapes from Dionysus Vineyard, one of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards in the Columbia Valley, known for its intensely concentrated fruit. There is no mistaking this wine for anything other than Cabernet. It has classic Cab flavors of cassis and blackberry, along with cocoa and maple, an earthy undertone, and light cedar and spice on the finish. This is a serious, full-bodied wine with great aging potential. Pour alongside pan-seared filet mignon, braised short ribs, or grilled steak with chimichurri sauce.
Polished, generous and airy in texture, with pure currant and blackberry flavors that hint at coffee as the finish lingers against fine tannins. Drink now through 2014.

Sand artist rebuilds after vandal attack in Sequim

Kali Bradford inspects her rebuilding efforts on her vandalized sand sculpture "Violet Picking Lavender" in Sequim.

"That's the thing about this work: It's in the public, so it's vulnerable to the public," Bradford said.
Bradford spent 200 hours building her sculpture "Violet Picking Lavender" out of 12 yards of sand outside Adagio Bean & Leaf, 981 E. Washington St., for the city's trademark summer festival, which ran this year from July 19-21.
During the night of July 14, however, as "Violet" neared completion, her head was smashed off, as was the top of her castle.
"Better her head than mine," Bradford now says of the incident.
After saying she didn't "have the heart" to rebuild her sculpture immediately after it was destroyed, she returned in September to repair it.
"I think it's almost made her more relatable," Bradford said of "Violet."
"Everybody has had things fall down that they didn't want to go away."
And, she asked, what other reaction is there but to rebuild?
"Now Violet has a new head. And it's more beautiful," she said.
"That's the great thing about sand: I can always rebuild it."
Silver lining
Bradford said the vandals' destruction may have brought even more attention to Bradford's sculpture.
"The destruction of it almost magnified it," she said. "People got angry and fell in love with her, and own a little piece of it now."
This version of "Violet" includes protection: Beneath her beauty, Bradford has created a protective lion who, like Bradford healing from the vandals' attack, lies licking his paw.
"He's a proud, beautiful beast," she said. "But he's still got this injury to tend to."
Therapy in the sand
A 35-year veteran of international sand sculpture competitions, Bradford uses sand sculpture in art therapy classes she teaches.
Getting back in the sand was her way of healing from the random attack.
"It did give me a — what I call — Zen," she said.
As for next year, Bradford said she plans to return next year with another sculpture for the festival, though she may beef up her security efforts.
"The last sculptures kept living, I think, because I lied to all the neighborhood boys and told them there was a camera," she said.
"Guess I've got to come up with something else."
Bradford has a Tumblr website set up to display her sand art — www.sandart.tumblr.com — and is available for workshops or special projects by phoning 360-775-9463.

I bought this case "used" from Adorama and you can not tell its used. Saved some money buying used and got what looks like a new case for my Leica M9. I can't say enough about Adorama's service and staff when ordering over the phone.Extremely professional !

Family visitPosted Apr 13, 2015
Pros: Quiet hotel in a quiet street in a very good neighbourhood. Area wasn't full of tourists (like us) but locals.
Cons: Perhaps cooked breakfast could be hotter or cooked fresh to order as it is quite expensive for the hotel.
Location: 5 min walk to the Metro and Eiffel Tower and yet very quite neighbourhood. Not a bit touristy. Lots of lovely bistros within short distance.
We were a family of 4 and shared a family room. It wasn't a particularly large room but there was room for 4 of us to sleep comfortably in our single beds. The bathroom was large and clean with plenty of fresh towels daily.

A short while ago, we put up the shortlist of songs that had been nominated for Ivor Novello awards, from the last year's crop of quality pop and roll. And when I say 'shortlist' that's what I mean, because the Ivors work from a selection of three possible winners per award, and there are only thirteen awards in total (most of which fall within the purview of lifetime achievement).
So it's even more remarkable that the ever-present Emeli Sande managed to walk away with two of the three big song-based awards – best song musically and lyrically and most performed work – for her single "Next To Me," without even being in the room.
The third song award, best contemporary song, was won by the Maccabees for their joyful worrygasm "Pelican"
An interesting state of affairs, if only because it means that Bat For Lashes did not win anything for "Laura," a song which deserves every plaudit in the honor roll.
As for the other ten awards: Calvin Harris won songwriter of the year, and joked that, just like his songs, he would keep his speech "brief and repetitive." Alt-J won album of the year for "An Awesome Wave."
There were trophies for movie and TV music too, with awards going to Dario Marianelli, who won best original film score for Anna Karenina, and John Harle, who won the best television soundtrack prize for a BBC2 documentary on Lucian Freud. Errollyn Wallen, whose work featured in the opening ceremony of the Paralympics, won the classical music award;
From here on down, it's all tributes to being good at music for a long time. Noel Gallagher won the outstanding song collection trophy, and dedicated his award to his wife Sarah, who claims never to have seen her husband writing much of anything. Randy Newman was honored with a special international achievement award (quite right too), as was Gavin Rossdale from Bush. Trust me when I say that's a situation that feels a lot more weird from the UK angle, where Bush were never that big a deal, than it might in America.
Marc Almond won the inspiration award, and snarkily thanked "the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many record labels I've been on … we got there in the end."
And the actual outstanding achievement award went to Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues. This despite never quite finding that lost chord he was after.
Just to reiterate: "Laura" by Bat For Lashes won nothing. Awards are silly.

As more and more people become initiated into the pure passion and enjoyment the pursuit of America's No. 1 sportfish brings, our favorite bass waters begin to quickly show the effects.
Not many of us weekend anglers pay very much attention to how a bass is hooked. We land it, admire it and let it go.
If you're crazy about bass fishing, there's a pretty good chance that you get just as excited about fishing for other species of fish as well. Whether it's a freshwater species, such as crappie or bream, or saltwater fish like redfish or tarpon, the thrill is in the pursuit and the sense of accomplishment once you've translated that first bite into a very memorable moment.
Just about every angler, whether an Elite Series pro or a weekend warrior, can think of at least one lake that has his number. When that fishery shows up again and again on the schedule, about all you can do is grit your teeth and endure eight or nine painful hours on the water.
In Tommy Biffle's mind, the rules of math that apply to the rest of the world are not necessarily in effect. The veteran Oklahoma pro says that a lot of times, he'd much prefer to catch just five bass instead of 10, 20 or even 100.
You've worked hard all week just to make it to Saturday, the one day you can forget about work and other obligations and enjoy a little time on the water. It's a glass calm morning, and as you zip up the lake, you anticipate getting to the honey hole that you're sure has never seen another angler. But as you round the corner, feeling the anticipation, your heart sinks as another fisherman approaches from the other direction.
Long before the flipping tube was a staple of shallow water, Shaw Grigsby, was using these mini-squids to take other anglers' entry fees.
Burned into the mind of every bass angler are memorable days on the water when the surface suddenly erupted as wolf packs of bass viciously attacked schooling baitfish. In a sport where the target is generally unseen, the appearance of schooling bass on top usually generates a sudden adrenaline rush. Mayhem ensues as anglers franticly try to reach the school. Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the school is gone.
The first thing everyone thinks of when you say sight fishing is spawning, says Elite Series pro, Shaw Grigsby. In clear water situations you can sight fish all year long.
If you're looking to catch massive numbers of trophy smallmouth, you owe it to yourself to take a trip to the Great Lakes region. Over the last two years, the Bassmaster Elite Series has shown the world that this part of the work is an incredibly prolific smallmouth paradise.

We'd heard a vague rumor that this particular O'Quigley's was drawing quite a crowd, thanks to its clublike atmosphere. Our only exposure to Paddy O'Quigley's had been its JoCo branch, which is more frattish than a dancetorium. The thought of an eastern Jackson County branch conjured up images of a bemulleted, rollicking crowd. So, stereotypes firmly in place, we trekked east on a recent Saturday night with Research Assistants John, Joyce and Erik.
The first thing we learned: Lee's Summit is the proud home of not one but two Paddy O'Quigley's. One was way the hell out, and the other was less way the hell out. Fortunately, the branch we wanted was the latter, on Woods Chapel Road. Of course, we still got lost our Rangermobile bar-homing device malfunctions in suburbia so we had to stop at a QuikTrip to ask for directions. The clerk explained that the bar was next to another QuikTrip. Which, of course, brought to mind the scene from Best in Show in which the Parker Posey character meets her husband in a Starbucks not the same one but at neighboring branches across the street. Multiple QuikTrips and dual Paddy O'Quigley's made us feel like we were in some weird twincentric universe, so after we reached our destination, we were more than ready for drinks.
O'Quigley's isn't really next door to a QT, but it shares asphalt with a bank and a Burger King. It's a stand-alone building that resembles a clubhouse, which seems appropriate because it abuts a golf course. When we arrived, around 11:30, its parking lot was crammed full o' vehicles. We spotted three Hummers one with an obnoxious vanity plate and scoffed at that assholery. Then we encountered a foreign situation for a suburban bar: There was no place to park. We tried to sneak into the bank lot, but a nice security guard told us to move.
"What does Commerce Bank have against the Irish?" RA Erik asked. "No Irish need park here."
We found a spot on the hilly back road that led to the BK, then hiked for what seemed like a quarter of a mile to get to the place. As we approached, we heard an ominous sound: voices joined in singing Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places." The effect was time-warpedly surreal. The guys paid the $5 cover (ladies got in free), and we stumbled into the big main room, where yes, indeed there was karaoke on a massive scale. George Orwell's 1984 concept of group-sing was in effect. A cluster of people danced by the singer as the words were projected onto a giant screen behind his head. Off to the side, a bachelorette party sat around a huge table. We got our usual Jack and Cokes ($4) and stood around awkwardly, checking it all out. The East Jack duders mixed with the older cowboy types, and the plastered, hooched-out chickies stumbled around, falling tit-first into random obstacles.
We were about to head onto the outdoor balcony when we noticed stairs leading to a game room in the basement. We pictured a smoky arcade, but a different sort of game-playing was going on down there that's where we found the dance floor.
The downstairs scene was infinitely better than the restauranty upstairs, despite the fact that it was brightly lighted. (O'Quigley's is anti-beer goggling.) The games consisted of foosball, Golden Tee and a few pool tables, but really, the focus was primarily on the drinking and the ass-shaking on the blue-speckled linoleum dance area. Above it, a giant screen and two smaller TVs incongruously broadcast SportsCenter while classics such as "Me So Horny" and "Let Me Clear My Throat" invited people to not only sandwich but also grind crotch-to-ass.
We liked it. The crowd was young and racially diverse, which is always cool to see. The vibe didn't feel skeezily meat-markety, which was refreshing. The basement attracted all kinds married types flirting with those not their spouses, new mothers getting a night out of the house for the first time, wastoidal dancers grinding against the support beams.
Then we met some really cool people, including 30-year-old Nikei and her boyfriend, 29-year-old Tuan. The bespectacled pair had huge, friendly smiles, and we thought they had to be the cutest couple in town. In addition to that, Nikei won us over immediately. "I've been reading the Pitch since I was 10," she proclaimed. She was born and raised in KC, she said. Then she told us that she and Tuan had been dating since they were 16 years old.
We ran into 30-year-old Aleashia. We had noticed that this petite blonde, who was clad in a low-cut black top, seemed a bit lit. Her friend, 25-year-old Anthony, told us that she dated his cousin.
"He has pretty teeth," Aleashia interjected, referring to Anthony's dental work.
We thought that she was flirting with Anthony, but he quickly dispelled that misconception. "She likes my brother, actually," he said. Just then, his brother, Tim, came up. "Look at those teeth," Aleashia said again, this time about Tim's mouth.
"It's the bitch from the Pitch!" Tim exclaimed. Catchy, Tim we're going to put that on the Night Ranger business card. We'll send a copy to you and your teeth.
After that interaction, we ran into some others who were into the pithy catchphrases. A gaggle of frat brothers had clustered in the back. Naturally, a few of them wore Abercrombie T-shirts with hi-larious quotes emblazoned on the front. "I mow your mom's lawn," read one. (Yeah, but do you trim her bush?) Randy told us that his shirt's slogan "Yes, I have plenty of change, you homeless piece of shit. Thanks for asking" had offended a woman at O'Reilly Auto Parts earlier that day. "Are you wearing that for me?" she allegedly asked, all pissed off.
"She was 7-foot-8, 680 pounds. I'm not exaggerating at all," Randy continued. "She scared the hell out of me. I was too shaken to talk. I was shaking so bad." He survived his bout with the mythical giantess, though.
Last call was announced soon afterward, and as the lights went up even more, the Night Ranger co-opted a nearby table to look through her purse for some gum. Just then, a guy standing a few feet away got up from his chair and threw it to the ground, as if in anger. His friend pointed to the NR, and the guy, who didn't realize that a bystander was in the line of fire, came over and apologized.
On that note, we took off, content in the knowledge that, unlike Brigadoon, O'Quigley's would likely be there to serve the clubgoing needs of toothy eastern Jackson County inhabitants for a long time.

2012 Westrey Cuvée 20 Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $49. 20th vintage. Sourced from 35-year-old dry-farmed vines. 25% "Coury clone" Abbey Ridge Vineyard and 75% Pommard clone Oracle Estate Vineyard. Unfiltered. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Somewhat reticent, offering demure aromas of dark red berries, cherries and sous-bois. Delicious flavors of dark red fruits with the slightest oak adding a welcome accent. Fresh and juicy with good tension, balanced tannins, an intense mid palate attack, and a generous finish displaying a good cut of acidity. Tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine was more savory and slightly gamey with a remarkably long finish. This wine should age effortlessly. Score: 91-92. Reviewed November 19, 2014 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2010 Westrey Abbey Ridge Vineyard Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $42. · Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose has a briar, dried oak and geranium theme with a delicate cherry fruit aroma. Much more appealing on the palate with flavors of red cherry, rhubarb and oak. Very elegant, with gossamer tannins, tangy acidity and a faint dried herb streak in the background. The oak tends to overshadow the fruit. This bottle is not up to the usual high standard of Westrey wines from this vineyard. Score: 86. Reviewed November 9, 2013 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2009 J. Christopher Dundee Hills Cuvée Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 450 cases, $35. A barrel selection from several vineyards including Bella Vida, Baptista, Maresh, Charlie's, Abbey Ridge and Le Pavillon. Unfiltered. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Very shy initially, but opens beautifully over time in the glass revealing aromas of dark red and purple fruits with wood spice and subtle oak vanillin. Earthy and charming, with a medium weight core of darker Bing cherry and raspberry flavors perfectly accented by oak notes of spice and anise, and displaying a fancy thrust of pure fruit on the finish. Light on its feet and very accommodating. A step up over the Willamette Valley bottling. Reviewed January 12, 2012 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2009 Cameron Abbey Ridge Vineyard Willamette Valley Chardonnay
13.2% alc., $47. · Medium straw color in the glass. This is a really strange wine and perhaps I got an anomalous bottle. Aromas of yeasty bread, oak toast and peanut butter. Styled with piercing lemon drop acidity. Citrus-driven flavors with notes of oak-derived banana, toast, nuts and peanut butter. Leaves a lemony trail on the finish. This producer's Chardonnay was recommended to me but I need to reserve judgement since I did not have a second bottle to sample. Reviewed November 24, 2012 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2006 Westrey Abbey Ridge Vineyard Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $36. · This seemed to be an off bottle and not consistent with other Westrey offerings this vintage. The nose offered cranberry, orange peel and a hint of volatile acidity. Earthy, with black raspberry jam and rhubarb flavors with echoes of oak and a citrus overlay. Reviewed September 15, 2008 WINERY » ARTICLE »
