A private letter from Billings was
handed us today which, if true, reveals
condition of business venality
shocking to contemplate. Here are
extracts from the letter:
"I made new discovery today. 1
was informed by good authority that
there are about sixteen cases Of small
pox in the pest house, and / believe it
is correct. The sharks Of the city are
very much afraid that it will be known
and that would cut off their graft.
They don't give a d-n if all the
people get the small pox so they get
the dollar. There is no price on life
here. It is no value. Yet you are
held up for everything you purchase.
This is as the citizens alliance would
like to have it. They want an open
town where you can get everything
you want from scabs to small pox.
Some of the boys told me they wrote
up an account of the affair and sent it
to Gov. J. X. Toole, but that he won t
pay any attention to it. 4"
If what our friend says is based on
facts a treason has been consummated
against the community of Billings
which makes an isolated case of assass-
ination look white and if the governor
of the state has maintained a conven-
lent silence in the presence of this
great public danger he goes on record
as common eonspirator in this crime

their appeal to that body as to the
legality of their being Kidnapped from
the State of Colorado into the State
Of Idaho.
When the trials were postponed by
District Judge Frank ]. Smith, of
Caldwell, the defendants asked to be
released on bonds, offering to give bail
in any amount named by the court;
but this was refused them, and it seems
likely now that they will be confined
for at least another half year, and pos
sibly a year, before their trials will
take place.
The prosecution admits that neither
of these men were in Idaho at the
time the murder was committed. Aside
from the whim, of the prosecution,
which is in realty the Mine Owners ;
association, there is no reason why
year and half awaiting trial for a
crime of which nearly all of the people
of this country believe them innocent.
The LOYALTY of these men to the
working class entities them to the
united support of the workers of the
United States in a supreme effort to
induce the judge in the case to admit
them to bail pending a trial.
Therefore, the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor assembly, of Butte, Mon
tana, appeals to every central labor
body in the United States, regardless
of affiliations, to set apart Sunday,
August 5th, 1906, for a general, united
and direct demand of Disetrict Judge
Frank J. Smith, Of Caldwell, Idaho,
to either give these men an immediate
trial or to admit them TO bail pending
their trials.
Let every central body arrange a
tremendous, rousing mass meeting of
working people for that day, and then
and there adopt resolutions addressed
to the District Judge, setting forth
their wishes in the matter.
Consider the awful Importance of
this case, and let us for the time being
forget everything else except our duty
to these men and to the American
labor movement, for which they have
fought so valiantly for so many years

Labor Hurls
Defiance
Butte Unions Launch National Protest
Movement Haywood Nominated
For Governor of Colorado.

The latest outrage of the inner circle
of the Mine Owners association-the
refusal to grant bail to our comrades
incarcerated in Idaho, threatens to stir
up a protest movement of national di-
mensions-one which will dwarf the
protest movement Of last spring by
comparison.
The determination of the capitalist
conspirators and their hirelings to
keep the prisoners in Jail indefinitely
while refusing a trial is opening the
eyes of labor as never before to the
real intent of the plot to strike fatal
blow at unionism and socialism.
Two Knockout Blows.
In the general tide of indignation
which the socialist and labor press
shows is rising througout the country.
Butte has struck out for a national
effective protest to secure if not justice
at least a little mercy for our comrades
and brothers. And from Colorado
comes the news of a direct slap ad.

governorship of Colorado.
Butte Leads Out.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
assembly is launching the protest
movement. The circular quoted below
is being sent to all central labor bo-
dies in the United States and explains
the nature of the movement:
Circular.

will be selected by referendum vote.
NOMINATING SPEECH.
In nominating Haywood, John NJ.
Martin of Denver, said:
'"I do not rise to name a well
groomcd business man or a professional
politician, seeking graft. Nor do ]
name a labor leader who is dined and
wined at civic federation banquets
But ] rise to name a man, who in ex
ecutive ability is the peer of the best,
and whose personal integrity is with
out stain. A man whose hands have
been ealloused by honest labor and
whose every heart throbs in sympthay
with those who toll. A man who has
never been praised by the capitalist
press as the "greatest labor leader in
the world, but one who as a labor
leader has never betrayed his trust
nor sold out a strike. A man who, be-
cause Of his loyalty to the working
class, has been struck down by brutal
soldicry on the streets Of our city and
who, for that same loyalty was kidnap
ped by the command Of the powers of
capitalism and, contrary to all legal
forms and observances, was carried to
distant state and thrown into a felon 3
cell where for months he and his faith
full comrades have waited, demanding
in vain the speedy trial guaranteed to
every citizen by our constitution and
laws, .William d. Haywood, the pris-
oner in Caldwell jail"
Foretells Election.
Mr.. Martin declared that the work
ing classes of Colorado would rally to
Haywood and that he would be elected.
Concluding, he said:
"And If they refuse to release him
we may feel impelled to march to
Idaho and take our chief executive by
force, IL necessary, out of the teeth
of the dogs of capitalism, and carry
him in triumph to our state house"
Let All Assist.
Every socialist and every unionist
who read the "Montana News" should
urge upon immediate action upon the
circular. Let us make the protest so
strong, so stern and so widespread that
il will porve thoroughly effective.

A SLAP IN THE FACE.

The Colorado convention throughout
is a direct slap in the face Of the
ruling class. The nomination of Will
lam d. Haywood for the governorship
of Colorado, is equivalent to serving
notice on the capitalist class that their
sham "legal" games are not regarded
seriously by the working class and that
capitalist unjust rulings have no effect
on the opinions of the working class.
This eenters the fight on Haywood and
prevents the conspirators from slip
ping so easily out of the meshes they
were weaving for others Generously
labor has received the weight of the
charge against Meyer and Haywood
and it is the working class now that is
ON trial.
Here follows the associate press ac-
count Of the convention:
