Im trying to trace a person called AP Fors (Anders-Petter Fors) There have been indications that he might have met a Joe Hill and tried to start an international union for workers. If you know anything about the IWW (international workers of the world) history and the founders or anything about a Joe Hill please contact me. We are very interested in the fate of AP Fors and Joe Hill.
