 against the strike. He was convicted and served 6 months in prison.\n\nDebs 
 was an IWW member, and while in prison became a socialist, and formed the 
 Socialist Party of America. In 1912, he also went to jail for opposing the 
 First World War, and while in prison ran for president and received 6 % of
