Radical Labor Clash Over Butte Women’s Union Control
In Butte radical labor leaders tried to seize control of the Women’s Protective Union from elected officers led by President Katie Shea. Regulars retained control after a tense meeting at Carpenters Union hall amid outside radicals and warnings of a planned faction gathering at Finlander hall. Local officials tied to the socialist administration faced questions over the secessionist move as women linked to radicals and the Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council eyed Chicago conferences for the union’s leadership. In San Diego, Lieut Byron G. Jones set endurance flight records, remaining aloft through the night for hours and landing as darkness fell.
