In September of 1917 the federal government moved against the Industrial Workers of the World, raiding 48 union halls across the United States initiating a campaign of active suppression of the union. As a direct result of these raids the IWW's fortunes declined considerably with many important leaders arrested, killed, or forced into de facto exile.
