On this day, 24 December 1913, the worst mass killing in Michigan in the 20th century took place as 73 people, including 59 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.
