1917 -- US: IWW labor organizer Frank Little
lynched in Butte, Montana.
During a prolonged conflict between miners & copper
companies, a vigilante group drags Industrial Workers of the
World organizer Frank Little — broken leg & all — from his
boarding house & hang him from a railroad trestle. As a
warning to others, the lynchers pin the old vigilante numbers,
3-7-77, to his clothes. Authorities make no attempt to find the
assailants.
Years later the writer
Dashiell Hammett
would recall his days in
Butte as an armed
mercenary being paid
by the Pinkerton
detective agency &
the mine companies.
One night, as he sat in
a Butte bar, Hammett
said he was approached
by a mine company
representative who
offered him $5,000 to
kill Frank Little.
Beating Wobblies with clubs
was one thing . . . murder was
another, & Hammett said he
quit on the spot.
