Seldom in the history of American labour have the differences between management and employees been so dramatically emphasised and so sharply focused as during the period following the surreptitious removal of William D. Haywood, Charles H. Moyer, and George Pettibone from Denver, Colorado, to Boise, Idaho, for trial for the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho.
