Butte Union Men Orchestrate Townwide Exodus and Lynching Fear
In Butte in 1902 a large crowd of Workingmen's union members escorted two Parrot smelter workers out of the plant and ordered them to leave town. The men, Charles H. Savage and Henry Burch, refused to join the Smeltermen's union and were taken toward Woodville, then disappeared. Authorities offered no protection, and officials indicated the pair were told to keep walking east and not return.
