Powers Hapgood (28 December 1899- 4 February 1949) was an American Trade Union Organizer and Socialist Party leader known for his involvement with the United Mine Workers in the 1920s. Hapgood was the son of a Progressive canner in Indianapolis. Hapgood graduated Harvard University in 1921 and decided to dedicate his life mobilizing the working-class. Hapgood became a coal miner in Pennsylvania, serving under union organizer John Brophy. Hapgood aided Brophy in his challenge to John L. Lewis for the leadership of the UMWA, a challenge that led to the ouster of Hapgood and Brophy from the Union. Hapgood joined the Socialist party and ran for Governor of Indiana on their ticket in 1932, losing to Paul V. McNutt. Hapgood later joined the CIO at the behest of Lewis to help in several high profile campaigns.
