More Information:
The Irish folk singer, Andy Irvine, composed a song about the IWW Twelve, called Gladiators. The song is on the Way Out Yonder album released in March 2001. The chorus to the song goes:
Gladiators of the Working Class, heroes of mine
Who travelled down this dark road long before my time
Your actions and the words you spoke are shining in my mind
As I’m blowing down this old dusty road.

Tom Barker was interviewed by EC Fry, which was published as Tom Barker and the IWW by the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History in 1965. This contains much information on the organisation of the IWW in Australia, including the IWW Twelve (Chapter 6). It is available on the Australian IWW website at:
