I can never get sick of this song.

"The Italian Hall disaster (sometimes referred to as the 1913 massacre) is a tragedy which occurred on December 24, 1913 in Calumet, Michigan. Seventy-three men, women, and children, mostly striking mine workers and their families, were crushed to death when someone falsely yelled "fire" at a crowded Christmas party.[1]"

"See what your greed for money has done." Applicable as ever.

Someone yelled "fire, after the Doors were Locked, from the Outside.

People panicked and rushed for the stairs.

73 people (59 children) were killed.

"Fire" was called out by the Anti-union company mgt.

Company owners were Zionist Bolsheviks. Typical Anti-Worker, human rights thugs, who used Child labor and had no limit on work days-(now 8hrs) thanks to those workers who had their lives taken..

@StSimonMartyr That Happened in New York City in 1911. This Happened in Calumet Michigan in 1913. You are getting your disasters mixed.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire

Trapped inside because the owners had locked the fire escape exit doors, 146 of the 500 workers—mostly young women—were dead. Local 25 of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU)

@StSimonMartyr Now I am used to trolls like you, but this is ridiculous. Not only is this extremely racist but it historically inaccurate. There was no fire I suggest you read "At Death's Door," a good book on the subject

@goonodeath could not agree more, brother.

[StSimonMartyr]

Nope

They were Burned to death..arson by their Jewish Capitalist Bosses/Owners, who LOCKED the doors and set the hall on fire.

It was a real fire, not someone yelling fire.

A wonderful, easy way to cheat the corporations out of cheap labor is to use birth control and have no more than 2 kids, so you can educate them out of the coal mines or oil field jobs. Women have the power and birth control is a lot cheaper than raising a child. The latest figures are that it takes $220,000 to raise a child (unless you are dirt poor like my family was and we grew our own food!)
