Butte, Montana, in 1914 was still a copper town, but its streets carried the bitterness of a labor fight that had turned deadly the year before. In December 1913, a Christmas Eve gathering at the Italian Hall, held during a strike by the Western Federation of Miners against the mining companies, ended in a stampede after a false alarm of fire, and 73 people, most of them children, died. The Anaconda Company, which ran most of the big Butte mines, remained the city's dominant employer, and the strike's outcome weighed on miners' families who lived on the hillside above the headframes. Butte was then one of the largest cities in the Mountain West, and residents knew it as a place where the mines' whistles set the hours and the union hall and the company offices faced each other across the same streets.
