Dakota farmers face IWW bands in South Dakota
F.C. Kingsbury of Aberdeen reported in Butte that self-appointed farmer groups across the West formed to preserve peace and order. In Redfield and Redferd ranchers met IWW bands with shotguns and rifles, offering work at fair wages. Refusal led to removal or jail. The conflict rose toward a quasi war as IWW bands burned grain stacks and tampered with buildings. Kingsbury said IWW gangs plan to move to Montana to avoid harsher treatment.
