As is clear in the issue of Industrial Pioneer, the I.W.W. and the Comintern continued to have a relationship, however strained, until around the founding of T.U.E.L. in 1923 with many leading activists, like Bill Haywood and James Cannon, being members and advocates of both. Includes photo of U.S. comrades, delegates to the Berlin Industrial Union Conference, honoring Liebknect.

The Industrial Pioneer was published monthly by Industrial Workers of the World’s General Executive Board in Chicago from 1921 to 1926 taking over from One Big Union Monthly when its editor, John Sandgren, was replaced for his anti-Communism, alienating the non-Communist majority of IWW. The Industrial Pioneer declined after the 1924 split in the IWW, in part over centralization and adherence to the Red International of Labour Unions (RILU) and ceased in 1926.
