Butte Fire Destroys Ryan Fruit Warehouse on South Arizona
A major blaze at the Ryan Fruit company warehouse 745 South Arizona street in Butte, suspected to have started by electrical wiring, burned for seven hours and caused about 150000 in damages. The Henningsen Produce stock and machinery on the top floor were also damaged, with partial destruction of the building's upper levels. Firefighters faced high voltage lines and a collapsed roof as they fought the flames, while a crowd of about 400 watched from the streets.

Lloyd George outlines three postwar government plans
In a three hour Commons speech David Lloyd George details three key decisions. He abandons postwar protection plans for who qualifies for aid, rejects the Sankey coal nationalization report in favor of partial government control with miners’ shares, districts, and living condition funds, and proposes a joint industrial council with an 148 hour week and living wage for most industries. He pins peace delays on the United States regarding Turkey and urges League of Nations credibility and armament reductions.
