From Working Class History: On this day in 1913, the worst mass killing in Michigan history took place as 73 people, mostly the children of striking miners, were killed when bosses’ thugs yelled “Fire!” at a crowded union Christmas party, then held the exit doors shut so panicking children and their parents on the stairs were crushed by others who tried to flee.
