Unions Face Arrears as Trial Proceeds in Butte Case
Western Federation of Miners secretary treasurer Ernest Milla testifies in a suit against Butte Miners union officers. He reveals 1914 ledgers show Butte locals owing $2,500 in per capita tax with $1,250 paid, leaving a balance cited as linked to hall destruction. The federation assessed strike funds, and arrears varied among unions. Michigan locals faced ongoing strikes. Proceedings pause for law and motion day, judge’s department continues Monday.
