Adams links Greek fire plot to Western Federation of Miners
Stephen Adams, linked to the Western Federation of Miners inner circle, was taken to Pocatello to exhume Greek fire materials he says he buried after a 1913 plan to burn nonunion workers. The scheme aimed to intercept a Coeur d’Alene to Colorado car and wipe out the group with incendiary bottles. The car never arrived and Adams is now digging for the cache in an old sawmill building that later became a stable.
