Thanks to Jean, Mi for Woody's lyrics!
The Daily Mining Gazette ran a story on the Italian Hall Tragedy in the 1980's reporting that the last of the two surviving perpetrators(confessing in a Montana hotel to a C & H representative in the 1920's), had said it was simply(and tragically) just a drunken prank.
Love your song Mr. Guthrie, but in the end it seems that partisan politics was not likely the real cause of this tragedy.
As they once said in New France:
C'est la vie
