An hour and a half after the murders, Dr. Frank McHugh was awakened at his home by IWW member Joe Hill, who had a gunshot wound in his chest.  As he was being treated, a revolver slipped from his pocket to the floor.  Hearing about the Morrison murders the next day, Dr. McHugh alerted the police.  Joe Hill was arrested, convicted, and executed for the murders.<ref>Thomas E.

In 1916, in Everett, Washington, IWW members organized a strike in the lumber-shipping port activities.  The local sheriff, seeking to disband the strikers in accordance with existing law, ran into the same violent street tactics by armed IWW members that had occurred in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.  In the armed assault by the IWW a deputy sheriff and a lumber company official were murdered and 24 non-union workers were wounded. Strongest among miners and lumberjacks in the far west, the IWW lost its next big strike, in Patterson, New Jersey, in 1916, and membership fell to 400 radicals.

In 1916, in Everett, Washington, IWW members came in support of a strike by shingle workers at the Clough-Hartly mill.  After I.W.W. members were beaten by local deputies and citizens and left to walk back to Seattle; plans were made to return in aboard the steamer ''Verona''.  When the ''Verona'' tried to dock it was met by the sheriff, a number of deputies and and many onlookers.  To this day it is uncertain who fired the first shots, but in the ensuing chaos a deputy sheriff was shot in the back by friendly fire, a lumber company official died five I.W.W. members were killed with six others unaccounted for.  During the battle the ''Verona'' nearly capsized due to I.W.W. members trying to flee the gunfire. Strongest among miners and lumberjacks in the far west, the IWW lost its next big strike, in Patterson, New Jersey, in 1916, and membership fell to 400 radicals.
