Woman Horsewhips Pickets.

Mrs. William Glass, wife of the proprietor of a First avenue store in Great Falls, Mont., horsewhipped three members of the Trades and Labor council who had been stationed about the store by the organization to distribute circulars asking the public not to patronize the place. The store had been declared “unfair” by the clerks’ union because Glass refused to observe the 6 o’clock closing rule. The aggressiveness of Mrs. Glass put an end to the picketing part of the boycott plan and caused a lively scene about the store for some time.
