Turmoil at Butte Hall Sparks Violent Clash and Exits
An account describes a violent disturbance at a socialist hall in Butte where 700 to 1,000 outside, 300 inside, faced shouting and disruption. Carded members were admitted, plans for resignations, new elections, and auditing were proposed, but gunfire erupted forcing participants to flee toward Deer Lodge and Helena. The piece notes general lawlessness and vigilante concerns, with references to the Western Federation of Miners and the American Federation of Labor steering toward resolution.
