6:1626. Murray, Genevieve. THE "LOST” DAKOTA TERRITORY. N. D Hint. 1968 35(1): 62-67. In the evolution of boundaries through the creation and redefinition of territories and the establishment of states, a triangle-shaped tract of land at the confluence of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho was over¬ looked. Once a part of Dakota Territory, it became lost because of faulty maps and inaccurate surveys. It was assigned to the Territory of Montana in 1873. Of indeterminate size, post-World War I surveys defined it precisely as a timbered mountainside area of slightly over four by two miles. 2 maps.

6:1627. Stegner, S. Page (Ohio State U.). PROTEST SONGS FROM THE BUTTE MINES. Western Folklore 196726(3): 157-167. From 'New Songs for Butte Mining Camp,' an extremely rare paperbound, undated booklet, nine songs are selected to illustrate the commentary they afford and the insight they give into the strikes and labor problems from the viewpoint of the labor organizers and the miners themselves. They are, in effect, social documents of this class, in the Butte, Montana, mining area. These songs were apparently not widely known in that area as no evidence suggests that they entered into the oral tradition. Although they cannot be considered folksongs, their impor¬ tance to the folklorist and labor historian are significant. 6 notes.

WESTERN FOLKLORE, July '67, "Protest Songs from the Butte Mines," S. Page Stegner

P. I58j

On the twelfth of June in ’17, one bright mid -summer’s day, The workers in the mines of Butte, they took a holiday; Conditions sure were rotten, and they wanted better pay, So they made a union strong.

Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong.

The owners of the mines in Butte are called the A.C.M. A dirty bunch of parasites whose place is in the pen, So we call upon all workers—all good, red-blooded men, To join the union strong •

(to tune of "John Brown’s Body", ij. more verses)

(Stegner discusses "the rustling card" and other strike issues)

162—line from song about Cornelius Kelly

"This old gent's naire is Cornelius Kelly, Was ms ant to crawl upon his belly*”

Dave Tknmons, UMont. during our April '93 speaking visits

Dave says Liam ©’Flaherty's brother Tom was a columnist for the Producers News

of Plentywood for couple of yrs—thinks he went back to Ireland in '34. (after

a NY sojourn w/ Liam, Bill Dunn etc. who were known as the Drinking Man's Wing

of the Communist Party).

Dave's working on a book about Irish in the West, from Iowa to the Pac. Coast,

called It's a Long Way to Tipperary; plainly he'd be a good source on Plentywood

and other Montana radicalism. c <&AJXA. m

—somebody at Plentypood asks Jaraala, abt Darius: "This isn t another Irishm^, is it? Because if it is***"
