speaking of Butte not Belgium, quoted from the Bulletin: Auto mobile loads of gunmen are rarad- ing the streets, miugling with the men on strike, striving in every way known to the minds of these degenerate rats to evoke some ex- pression whicE caa be construed as preteXt for starting trouble Au- tomobile loads Of gunmen are flying about the city, assaulting strikers, who are defenseless and unpro- tected. Sunday night, four mem bers of the Miners Union, Gus Stohl Ed Nelson, Fred Jackson and Ray StOhl were attacked on East Park street by eUnmen who drove up in an automobile. Gus was struck on the mouth and face several times, a gun pohed against his breast, and several bicHs administered. Each ol the other members of the party were struck and kicked several times and one of them knocked down with a gun. They were chased down Park street and several shots fired after them the benevolent big companies are hiring hundreds of gunmen at six and seYcn dollars day and board and room"
 GuImen. you have heard of them before, Most of them professional criminals taken from the purlicus of ths cities, from the slHms: gang sters with records, the type Of men whose degenoracy is so patent and notorious that they can be hired to perform any dirty work for money: perjury, homicide, larceny it is all one 10 them.

 Frank Little member of the EXecu- tive Board of the I, w. W. comes 10 Butte to aid in the struggle against industrial tyranny. He is taken from his room at night by these dastards, and is hung from a railroad trestle with the warning that more are to follow.

 The other day President Wilson, a calculating and deliteraie man,
 weighing his words ca. efully-nu'
 given 10 nasty expressions today and equally nasty explanations io- morrow, spoke before the nation
