Posted @withregram • @ewmcrenew TODAY IN LABOR HISTORY: On August 1, 1917 Union Organizer Frank Little was dragged from his boarding house room by six masked men. He was beaten and taken to the edge of town where he was lynched and hanged from a railroad trestle. A note with the words “First and last warning” was pinned to his thigh, referring to earlier vigilantes giving people three warnings to stop objectionable actions. An estimated 10,000 workers lined the route of his funeral procession, which was followed by 3,500 more persons. He was buried in Butte’s Mountain View Cemetery. His grave marker reads “Slain by capitalist interests for organizing and inspiring his fellow men.” . . . . . . . . . . #1u #UnionStrong #IWW #FrankLittle #OrganizedLabor #WorkingClass #Solidarity #DontMournOrganize #ClassWar #NoWarButClassWar #AnInjuryToOneIsAnInjuryToALL https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg3Jy4rLQUoUPoVkHkZ_5qwFblp8OqvDOrHMk00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
