Fellow workers,
Joe Hill was very likely innocent of the charge for which he was executed.
How do we know this? Until now, we had to accept it pretty much on faith, and with the understanding that capitalists will commit the most brazen atrocities in order to banish unions.
No longer:
In 1914, Joe Hill was convicted of murder in Utah and sentenced to death by firing squad, igniting international controversy. Many believed Hill was innocent, condemned for his association with the Industrial Workers of the World-the radical Wobblies. Now, following four years of intensive investigation, William M. Adler gives us the first full-scale biography of Joe Hill, and presents never before published documentary evidence that comes as close as one can to definitively exonerating him.
The website for the new Joe Hill book is now live:

I'm volunteering to help with publicity because it is a very good book, and comes much closer than any other to proving that Joe Hill was innocent of the murder charge for which he was executed.
