Butte Leaders Defy I W W In War Era Rhetoric
Montana editorials praise mining officials for resisting I W W agitators during wartime. They warn citizens to choose patriotism over labor disruption, calling for unity, a square deal between capital and labor, and harsh penalties for threats to crops and industry. The piece cites Billings Gazette praise for Butte’s stance and urges statewide emulation. It also includes an oil firm solicitation and local notices about plumbing wage increases and a second hand sewing machine for sale.
