Special trains were also put on for the replay from destinations across the island: Belturbet, Cork, Cahersiveen, Dingle, Galway, Enniscorthy, New Ross, Shillelagh, Sligo, Waterford and Wexford. These trains contained young men often "accompanied by their sisters and their sweethearts. The cramping and discomforts of a three to a six hours' train journey, in a stifling and vitiated atmosphere, was borne with the greatest of goodwill and forbearance. There was no complaining; jokes were cracked; humorous, patriotic, and sentimental songs were sung; and there was every sort of music, from bands and violins down to the tin whistle and mouth organ", said an analysis from a week later (5 December).

1914 Allan Cup
The 1914 Allan Cup was the Canadian national senior ice hockey championship for the 1913-14 Senior season. The final challenge was hosted by the Regina Victorias in Regina, Saskatchewan. The 1914 playoff marked the seventh time the Allan Cup had a champion.


1914 Allan Cup, Winnipeg Hockey League
The defending 1913 Allan Cup champions, Winnipeg Hockey Club, failed to win the Winnipeg Amateur Hockey League. With a 6-2-0 record, the Winnipeg Monarchs were given the opportunity to defend the Allan Cup on behalf of the league. The Monarchs were led by team president Fred Marples, who resurrected the Winnipeg Strathconas senior team and entered them into the Independent Amateur Hockey League for the 1913–season. He felt it necessary to give the younger players more opportunities to practice and play in order to develop talent, secured more ice time and operated the Strathconas as a reserve team to support the Monarchs.


1914 Allan Cup, First challenge
The Winnipeg Amateur Hockey League debated whether or not players from the Strathconas were in a lower level of hockey and eligible to be a reserve player. Trustees for the Allan Cup also struggled to determine player eligibility since there was no authoritative national body to classify leagues by the level of play. When Allan Cup trustee William Northey ruled that Dick Irvin of the Strathconas was ineligible to compete, the Monarchs refused to defend the Allan Cup. Marples considered the Strathconas to be a reserve team for the Monarchs and that the decision was unfair to his team. After three days of negotiating, the Monarchs agreed to play without Irvin in a one-game Allan Cup challenge versus the Kenora Thistles, instead of the customary two-game series decided on total goals scored. The Monarchs won by a 6–2 score versus the Kenora Thistles.

1914 Argentine legislative election
The Argentine legislative elections of 1914 were held on 22 March. Voters chose their legislators, and with a turnout of 58%.


1914 Argentine legislative election, Background
The first elections following the 1912 enactment of the Sáenz Peña Law had opened Congress to myriad opposition parties to the ruling Conservatives. The UCR, which had spearheaded efforts for the law's passage (thereby extending universal suffrage to nearly all male citizens), emerged as the chief minority party in the Chamber of Deputies (Lower House); but remained doubtful as to the transparency of Senate and gubernatorial elections in a number of districts, notably the important Buenos Aires Province. Advised to do so by their longtime leader, Hipólito Yrigoyen, the UCR maintained their boycott of races beyond those of the Chamber of Deputies.


1914 Argentine legislative election, Background
President Roque Sáenz Peña's deteriorating health cast a pall over these elections, and his indefinite transference of presidential power to Vice President Victorino de la Plaza saw the second-in-command continue the ailing president's policies in place, as the elections proceeded on Sunday, March 22, as scheduled.


1914 Argentine legislative election, Background
Amid somewhat lower turnout, results were mixed: The UCR continued to make gains in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Argentina's National Congress, electing 19 of the 60 seats at stake. They fared particularly well in Entre Ríos and Santa Fe Province, in which latter they received more than twice the votes of Santa Fe native Lisandro de la Torre's Southern League. The Socialist Party again defeated the UCR in the City of Buenos Aires, however, and by a wider margin than in 1913.


1914 Argentine legislative election, Background
Conservative Buenos Aires Province lawmaker Marcelino Ugarte, who had defeated the UCR in the 1913 Senate race, did so again in this year's gubernatorial contest, and became his party's effective leader. The Civic Union, representing those who broke from the UCR after its 1890 founding, continued to erode in influence, and following these elections, Honorio Pueyrredón announced its reunification with the UCR.


1914 Arizona Wildcats football team
The 1914 Arizona Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of Arizona as an independent during the 1914 college football season. In their first season under head coach Pop McKale, the team compiled a 4–1 record, shut out four of six opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 85 to 20. The team captain was Turner Church Smith.

The season included the resumption of the Arizona–Arizona State football rivalry after a hiatus of 12 years. The Wildcats won the game by a score of 34 to 0.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election
The 1914 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1914, for the post of the Governor of Arizona. The Supreme Court of Arizona ruled that there would be no statewide elections in 1912, thus extending the terms to sync up with elections on even years. The Democratic nominee was incumbent governor George W. P. Hunt, his Republican opponent was the final Delegate to Congress from Arizona Territory, Ralph H. Cameron. Cameron was disadvantaged  by the same reason the previous Republican nominee Wells was: he had opposed statehood with the present Constitution.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election
Two third parties also made strong challenges, the Progressives polled over 10% with nominee George Young, the final Territorial Secretary and then-mayor of Phoenix. The Socialists held around the same percentage of votes as in 1911, increasing slightly, but would peak here and never reach the same height.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election
George W. P. Hunt was sworn in again as governor on January 4, 1915.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election, Democratic primary, Race
As of May 1914, Hunt had still not officially declared his intention to run for re-election. By that point in time, there were already two other Democrats who had announced their intention to run for the Democratic nomination: Fred Sutter and Henry A. Hughes. Sutter had been the Superior Court Judge from Cochise County from 1912 until his resignation in July 1913. When he resigned, he had stated his intention to never run for elected office again.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election, Democratic primary, Race
However, in February 1914, when Democratic leaders began to float his name as a possible candidate in the Democratic primary for the governor's seat, he did not disavow those rumors. By March it was reported that he would be the conservative Democratic candidate in the primary, to oppose the more liberal Hunt, and he officially announced his candidacy by mid-March. Within a month, Sutter was considered the front runner for the nomination, over the incumbent Hunt. There were rumors that Hunt would seek the U.S. Senate seat, rather than another term as governor.


1914 Arizona gubernatorial election, Democratic primary, Race
Sutter's official announcement that he was a candidate for governor came on May 22 in Tucson. In order not to splinter the party, Sutter withdrew from the race in early July, announcing his support for Hunt. When Hunt officially began his candidacy for re-election in mid-July, with the submission of a petition to put his name on the ballot, the first signature on the petition was that of Sutter.

1914 Armenian reforms
The 1914 Armenian reforms, also known as the Yeniköy accord, was a reform plan devised by the European powers between 1912 and 1914 that envisaged the creation of two provinces in Turkish Armenia placed under the supervision of two European inspectors general, who would be appointed to oversee matters related to the Armenian issues. The inspectors general would hold the highest position in the six eastern vilayets (provinces), where the bulk of the Armenian population lived, and would reside at their respective posts in Erzurum and Van. The reform package was signed into law on February 8, 1914, though it was ultimately abolished on December 16, 1914, several weeks after Turkey's entry into World War I.


1914 Armenian reforms, Background
The Balkan wars had created an opportunity for the revival of new plans to improve the conditions of the Ottoman Armenians. The French, British and Italians were anxious to limit German influence in the Ottoman Empire, while the Russian government encouraged the Catholicos of Armenia to appeal through the viceroy of the Caucasus to the Ottoman government for intervention in favor of reforms in Armenian-inhabited vilayets. This project was prepared by André Mandelstam, the dragoman at the Russian Embassy in Istanbul, and representatives from the Armenian national assembly. It was introduced and discussed in Constantinople at a meeting of the ambassadors of France, Britain and Italy.


1914 Armenian reforms, Background
The project suggested the formation of a single province from six vilayets (Erzurum, Van, Bitlis, Diyarbakır, Kharput and Sivas) under either an Ottoman Christian or a European governor general. The governor general was to be appointed by the Powers for the ensuing five years. Germany opposed the project and succeeded in obtaining significant modifications, including splitting the region into two provinces.


1914 Armenian reforms, Plan
The reform package was signed on February 8, 1914, between the Ottoman Empire (represented by Grand Vezir Said Halim Pasha) and Russia. Louis Constant Westenenk, an administrator for the Dutch East Indies, and Nicolai Hoff, a major in the Norwegian Army, were selected as the first two inspectors. Hoff was in Van when the war broke out, just as Westenenk was preparing to depart for his post in Erzurum.


1914 Armenian reforms, Plan
On the two demands existential for the Armenians— that muhacir not be settled in these seven provinces (which would make nonsense of proportional representation) and that measures be undertaken to return stolen lands to their original Armenian owners—the Porte remained adamant, and they went unmentioned in the Yeniköy accord. European negotiators were left with the hope that the two European inspector-generals stipulated in the accord might be able to adjudicate such problems.


1914 Army Cadets football team
The 1914 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1914 college football season. In their second season under head coach Charles Dudley Daly, the Cadets compiled a 9–0 record, shut out six of their nine opponents, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 219 to 20 – an average of 24.3 points scored and 2.2 points allowed. In the annual Army–Navy Game, the Cadets defeated the Midshipmen 20 to 0. The Cadets also defeated Notre Dame 20–7.

The team was recognized as the national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation, the Houlgate System, and the National Championship Foundation, and a co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.

Three Army players were recognized as first-team players on the All-America team: end Louis A. Merrilat; center John McEwan; and quarterback Vernon Prichard. Tackle Alex Weyand was selected as a third-team All-American by Walter Camp. Four players from the 1914 team were later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame: McEwan; Weyand; Robert Neyland (later coach at Tennessee); and Elmer Oliphant.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1914 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season on record, with only one known tropical storm. Although hurricane season typically encompasses a much larger time-span, actual activity was confined to the middle of September. The only tropical cyclone of the year developed in the region of The Bahamas on September 15 and drifted northwestward, moving inland over Florida and Georgia. Thorough warnings before the storm prevented any major damage. The 1914 season is one of only two that did not produce any hurricanes (the other being the 1907 season). Due to the lack of modern technology such as satellite imagery, information is often sparse, and an additional tropical depression may have existed in late October. Additionally, this was the first hurricane season to take place during World War I.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Season summary
With only one official tropical cyclone, the 1914 season was the least active tropical cyclone season on record. It is one of only two Atlantic seasons without a storm of hurricane intensity (winds of 75 mph (121 km/h) or stronger), the other being the 1907 season. The sole tropical storm's formation on September 14 represents the latest start to a hurricane season since officials records began in 1851.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Season summary
Information on the 1914 season is chiefly based on data from the Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT), which undertook a thorough reanalysis of hurricanes from 1911 through 1914 in 2005. Several changes, mostly of a minor nature, were made to the September tropical storm. Additionally, two other systems during the year were formally considered for inclusion into the hurricane database; one of them was deemed a potential tropical depression, but considered too weak to be classified a tropical storm. The other was assessed as a non-tropical system. The 2005 HURDAT reanalysis relied largely on historical weather maps and ship reports in place of modern technology, including satellite imagery.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Season summary
The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 3, the lowest since official records began in 1851 and far below the 1911–1920 average of 58.7. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
The first and only tropical storm of the season originated in a westward-moving tropical wave denoted on weather maps from September 13. Decreases in air pressure occurred throughout the Bahamas, providing "strong indications of a disturbance". The system became a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on September 15, approximately 200 mi (320 km) east of Miami, Florida. It strengthened into a tropical storm about 12 hours later, leading to the issuance of storm warnings from the east coast of Florida to as far north as Hatteras, North Carolina.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
The system drifted northwest while gradually intensifying, and was situated south of the Georgia coast late on September 16. While most tropical systems in the vicinity tend to continue northward along the Eastern Seaboard, the cyclone curved westward and moved ashore near the Florida–Georgia state border after achieving a peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). It progressed inland over southern Georgia as it quickly weakened, but its intensity leveled off after around 18:00 UTC on September 17. The storm skirted the northern Gulf of Mexico as it swerved slightly south of due west, weakening to a tropical depression over southeastern Louisiana. By early September 19, the depression had further deteriorated into an open trough—a poorly defined, elongated area of low pressure.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
The storm produced widespread rainfall in the Southeastern United States, accompanied by gale-force winds along the coast, and ships reported severe conditions at sea. High tides occurred around St. Augustine, Florida, washing over the South Street Causeway. Winds from the storm dispersed large amounts of dead grass from marshes in the area. No significant damage was reported due to thorough warnings before the cyclone. A 2005 reanalysis of the storm made some minor changes to its listing in the official hurricane database, setting back the time of formation and raising the peak intensity.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Other system
In addition to the September tropical storm, a possible depression that remained below tropical storm intensity developed in late October. On October 24, a broad area of low pressure was present over the western Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. A possible center of low pressure, attached to a cold front extending southward, had formed within the larger system and moved toward the east. Another center of low pressure formed in the northwestern Caribbean on October 25 and is considered a tropical depression in contemporary research.


1914 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Other system
The depression had weak winds due to the light pressure gradient in the region and, at its peak, it had a minimum central pressure of 1,004 mbar (29.6 inHg). On October 26, the cold front associated with the extratropical cyclone to the north absorbed the tropical system. The next day, the extratropical system deteriorated into an open trough. Although the tropical low was reviewed for inclusion into the hurricane database as a tropical storm in 2005, it was deemed too weak.


1914 Auburn Tigers football team
The 1914 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University (then called the Alabama Polytechnic Institute) in the 1914 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. It was the Tigers' 23rd overall season and they competed as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The team was led by head coach Mike Donahue, in his 10th year, and played their home games at Drake Field in Auburn, Alabama. They finished as SIAA Champions with a record of eight wins, zero losses and one tie (8–0–1 overall, 4–0–1 in the SIAA) and outscored opponents 193–0.

In Jacksonville, Auburn defeated the Florida Gators 20–0. Auburn's team was nearly as strong as the season before and claims another SIAA title. In contrast to the prior season, the 20–0 loss was seen as a moral victory and sign of progress for the Gators. However, the Florida also lost its captain. John Sutton left the game feeling poorly, and further examination revealed a weak heart. Auburn's backfield performed well, and Florida gave way by the second half. Bedie Bidez made two touchdowns.

1914 Auckland Rugby League season
The 1914 season was the sixth season of Auckland Rugby League since its formation in 1909. It followed the 1913 Auckland Rugby League season where North Shore Albions were crowned senior champions for the first time. The senior grade saw the addition of Otahuhu, who had previously competed in the lower grades only, and Grafton Athletic. The Manukau Rovers and Eden Ramblers no longer contributed teams. The first grade was won once again by North Shore Albions.


1914 Auckland Rugby League season
At a meeting of Auckland Rugby League on 9 May it was decided that the proceeds of ticket sales at club games would be split 50–50 between the teams and Auckland Rugby League. Interest in the competition continued to grow with 5,000 attending the 3 senior matches played at Victoria Park on 20 June. There were 3,000 in attendance at the North Shore Albions game versus City Rovers in the Round 8 clash at the Devonport Domain. While 4,000 attended the Round 9 match between City Rovers and Ponsonby United at Victoria Park. There were 7,000 spectators for the final between North Shore Albions and Ponsonby United.


1914 Auckland Rugby League season
Whilst attendances were spectacular at times there were still signs that the competition was in its infancy with teams often playing one or more men short. The worst case being in the Round 9 match where Newton Rangers could only field eight players, with two spectators from the crowd later joining them as they were defeated by 43 points to 2 by North Shore Albions.


1914 Auckland Rugby League season
Near the conclusion of the season a match was played at Victoria Park between a team of veterans and Auckland colts on 29 August. It raised £27 and 10 shillings for the Patriotic Fund. Also a "Patriotic Carnival" was held on 5 September. A fancy dress carnival paraded around town with Highland pipers and a brass band. It proceeded to the Auckland Domain where a 3rd grade match was being played between Remuera and Ponsonby United 3rd Grade teams, and a ‘Burlesque’ football game was then played. Finally a match was played between the North Island Jockeys and Newton 3rd grade team which the jockey's won 11–6. £49 was raised for the Patriotic Fund.

In the match between Otahuhu and Grafton, M Stanaway, the Otahuhu captain was ordered off the field by referee Tyson. The match between North Shore and Newton was a farce with Newton only mustering 8 players. Two of the spectators joined the Newton team who were being trounced and the match finished 43 to 2 in favour of North Shore. The newspapers did not bother recording the point scorers though they did mention that the Shore side gave everybody in the team a chance to kick for goal.

None of the North Shore point scorers from their farcical Round 9 match with Newton Rangers were credited and therefore the following lists will be inaccurate as 43 points were scored by them. Of note in the point scoring lists is the prodigious scoring of Karl Ifwersen with 66 points. Indeed, Grafton only scored 75 points in total.

1914 Bethnal Green South West by-election, Vacancy

1914 Bethnal Green South West by-election, Campaign
The by-election posed a very real threat to Masterman's political future, with party controversy increased by the government's efforts at the time to introduce Home Rule into Ireland, and by the resulting possibility of civil war breaking out there. The militant Women's Social and Political Union and the John Bull League campaigned locally against Masterman. The John Bull League was a front organisation for Horatio Bottomley the right-wing owner of the John Bull magazine. Attempts were made to blacken Masterman's character by the Northcliffe press, and by Bottomley in his organ John Bull. The militant suffragettes opposed Masterman despite the fact that he was a supporter of women's suffrage, and had voted in support of the 1908 Women's Enfranchisement Bill.

1914 Burdur earthquake
The 1914 Burdur earthquake (also called the Afyon-Bolvadin earthquake) occurred at 00:07 local time (22:07 UTC) on 4 October. It was estimated to be 7.0 on the surface wave magnitude scale with a maximum intensity of IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. It was centered near Lake Burdur in southwestern Turkey and the mainshock and subsequent fire destroyed more than 17,000 homes, and caused 2,344 casualties.


1914 Burdur earthquake
In Burdur nearly 100 percent of the homes were destroyed along with other significant and historical monuments. Kilinc was completely destroyed and in Keciborlu around 85 percent of the houses were lost. In the city of Isparta the great Mosque was destroyed along with more than half of the homes. Other villages were also impacted as far as 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the epicenter.


1914 Burdur earthquake
The earthquake, along with several others in 1959 and 1971, occurred along the Fethiye-Burdur fault zone, a parallel and discontinuous series of fault segments. No unambiguous fault displacement has been found that is related to the event, but a 23 km (14 mi) portion of the southeast coast of Lake Burdur experienced subsidence of up to 150 centimeters (59 in) and this may indicate that the event was due to normal faulting with a strike of N45°E.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots
The Butte, Montana labor riots of 1914 were a series of violent clashes between copper miners at Butte, Montana. The opposing factions were the miners dissatisfied with the Western Federation of Miners local at Butte, on the one hand, and those loyal to the union local on the other. The dissident miners formed a new union, and demanded that all miners must join the new union, or be subject to beatings or forced expulsion from the area. Sources disagree whether the dissidents were a majority of the miners, or a militant minority.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots
The leadership of the new union contained many who were members of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W. ), or agreed with the I.W.W. 's methods and objectives. The result of the dispute between rival unions was that the copper mines of Butte, which had long been a union stronghold for the WFM, became open shop employers, and recognized no union from 1914 until 1934.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Background
The Butte Miners' Union No. 1 was founded in 1878. In 1885, the Butte union hosted the organizing conference for the Western Federation of Miners (WFM), and became the WFM's first chapter.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Background
The WFM took advantage of the "War of the Copper Kings," a struggle of mine owners to control the copper mines at Butte. On one side was Marcus Daly; on the other side were William A. Clark and F. Augustus Heinze. Daly later sold out to the Amalgamated Copper Company, which was backed by Standard Oil directors William Rockefeller and Henry H. Rogers, but the feud continued. The union played one side off the other to win 8-hour work days and higher wages. But when Heinze sold his Butte holdings to Amalgamated Copper in 1906, the district became dominated by a single company, Amalgamated Copper, and the union lost its former advantage.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Background
In 1907, the Butte Miners' Union had decided to increase wages to $4.00 per day, and $4.50 per day for shaft sinking. Previously, the union had been able to inform the management of its demands, and, for the most part, the union got what it wanted. But this time, the company pushed back. Instead of a raise, the company offered a sliding scale based on the price of copper. The agreement was not popular with the membership, so the local leadership simply did not put it to a vote.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, The Western Federation of Miners and the IWW
Leaders of the Western Federation of Miners such as Bill Haywood and Vincent St. John were instrumental in forming the I.W.W. in 1905, and the WFM quickly affiliated with the new union organization. The WFM became the I.W.W. 's "mining section." When three WFM officers, Haywood, Pettibone and Moyer were accused of conspiracy in the murder of former Idaho governor Frank Steunenberg, the IWW took it up as a cause celebre, held public rallies, and funded the legal defense.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, The Western Federation of Miners and the IWW
However, many of the WFM rank and file were uncomfortable with the open radicalism of the I.W.W., and wanted the WFM to maintain its independence. In the summer of 1907, the WFM withdrew from the I.W.W. Bill Haywood and Vincent St. John left the WFM to spend their time organizing the I.W.W.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, The Western Federation of Miners and the IWW
But the I.W.W. wanted its mining section back. In 1908, Vincent St. John tried to organize a stealth takeover of the WFM. He wrote to WFM organizer Albert Ryan, encouraging him to find reliable I.W.W. sympathizers at each WFM local, and have them appointed delegates to the annual convention by pretending to share whatever opinions of that local needed to become a delegate. Once at the convention, they could vote in a pro-I.W.W. slate. St. Vincent promised: "… once we can control the officers of the WFM for the I.W.W., the big bulk of the membership will go with them." But the takeover did not succeed.

Contrary to rejoining the I.W.W., in 1911, the Western Federation of Miners affiliated itself with the more conservative American Federation of Labor (AFL).


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Grievances against the Butte Miners' Union No. 1
In June 1914, a large number of Butte miners were dissatisfied with the Butte Miners' Union #1, a WFM local. The dissatisfied miners accused the leadership of the WFM local of stuffing ballot boxes in union elections, and of being in the pay of the Amalgamated Copper Company, which controlled all the important Butte mines. The Butte miners complained of special assessments imposed on them for strike funds in other districts.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Grievances against the Butte Miners' Union No. 1
Finnish miners charged that the Irish-dominated union had allowed the Anaconda Copper Company to fire several hundred Finnish miners. The union objected, but failed to get the Finns reinstated, and the union was unwilling to call a strike over the matter. The Anaconda company had apparently fired the Finns for being socialists.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Grievances against the Butte Miners' Union No. 1
The union had imposed a card system in the district, by which every miner had to show his paid-up union card when he showed up for his shift. Although the miners were staunchly pro-union, it was common for miners to fall behind in their dues, and the card system was unpopular. On June 12, 1914, two shifts of miners at the Speculator mine refused to show their cards, and staged an impromptu march to downtown Butte. The next day was a holiday: the anniversary of the founding of the Butte Miners' Union No. 1.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Riot at the Miners' Union day parades
The first disturbance occurred on June 13, 1914, during the Miners' Union day celebration, commemorating the founding of the Butte Miners' Union in 1878. Dissident union members assaulted union officers marching in the Miners' Union day parade. Local president Bert Riley fled.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Riot at the Miners' Union day parades
The crowd of dissidents left the parade and attacked the WFM local's headquarters, hauling away a safe, which they later blew open; they said that they were looking for evidence of corruption of union officials. When alderman and acting mayor Frank Curran went to the union hall and tried to calm the crowd, he was thrown out a second-story window. The crowd took $1,600 from inside the safe, and destroyed all the records of the WFM local. They also dynamited the home of P.K. Sullivan, a local union official.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Riot at the Miners' Union day parades
Two men who were arrested were sprung from jail, and carried away on the shoulders of the crowd. The dissidents visited the three Butte newspaper offices, and demanded that the papers not use the words "mob" or "rioters" in describing the events. They also warned the papers not to print anything critical of the IWW.

The city police and county sheriff watched the riot without attempting to stop it; one witness reported a policeman laughing while rioting went on in front of him. Socialist mayor Lewis Duncan defended his decision to keep the police from interfering, because, he said, the WFM local leadership was corrupt, and police action would have increased the violence.

The disturbances quieted down within a couple of days. Montana Governor Stewart asked the local officials about the situation, but the city mayor and the county sheriff assured him that local authorities could handle the situation.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Riot at the Miners' Union day parades
On June 21, a mass meeting of miners numbering from 3,000 to 5,000 - estimates vary - met and organized a new union, the Butte Mine Workers' Union, with a 20-man executive council, most of whom were members of the I.W.W. The new union warned all miners in Butte they had to quit the WFM and join the new union. This was followed by beatings and deportations of those who refused to quit the WFM and join the new union. The president of the new union, Muckie McDonald, threatened to use what he called "Direct Action" against anyone who opposed the Butte Mine Workers' Union. The new union quickly signed up several thousand members. Street-corner agitators urged the looting of stores and the destruction of public buildings with dynamite.

Because the city police refused to interfere, businessmen hired private guards. The Chamber of Commerce called for a mass meeting to discuss ways of dealing with the violence, and for appealing to the city council to remove Mayor Duncan. But after receiving threats that anyone attending the meeting would be marked for violence, the Chamber called off the meeting.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Dynamiting the union hall
On June 23, ten days after the Miner's Union day riots, WFM national president Charles Moyer arrived in Butte to resolve the differences between the WFM and its dissident members. But while Moyer spoke to about 200 WFM members in the union hall, the building was surrounded by a large crowd, who pelted the building with eggs. A union miner walking up the steps to attend the meeting was shot dead by someone inside the building. A gunfight ensued between those inside the building and those outside. An innocent bystander was shot and killed.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Dynamiting the union hall
While the crowd prevented the WFM members from leaving, some of the insurgents stole dynamite from a nearby copper mine, and placed a charge of 27 sticks next to the building, and set it off. They then systematically set other dynamite explosions, until the WFM union hall building was destroyed, but the people inside had managed to escape out the back down a fire escape, when those guarding the back had run around to the front. WFM president Moyer hid from the mob all day and night, until he finally snuck out of town in an automobile at 5 am the next morning, and headed to Helena, Montana.

In Helena, WFM President Charles Moyer asked the governor to provide him protection. Some later charged that Moyer had requested that troops be sent in, but he insisted that he had not asked for troops, only personal protection. The governor again contacted the sheriff and the mayor, who had done nothing to halt the violence, but they assured the governor that the situation did not require National Guard troops. In addition, 200 miners signed a petition telling the governor that there was no need to send troops.

In late August, the new miners' union went on strike. The strikers marched in mass to various Butte copper mines, threatening the miners  if they did not quit the WFM and join the new union. On August 30, a dynamite explosion blew up an office of the Anaconda Mining Company. The next day, the governor declared martial law in Butte.

Contrary to the express wishes of the mayor of Butte and the county sheriff, Governor Stewart declared martial law and sent in about 500 National Guardsmen, who arrived on 1 September 1914. The Guard halted publication of The Butte Socialist newspaper. The troops arrested the president, vice president, and a board member of the insurgent union, and held them without bail.

When arrested, the vice president of the Butte Miners' Union carried a letter from Vincent St. John, a former WFM official who by then had quit the WFM and was General Secretary-Treasurer of the I.W.W. The letter suggested to some that the new union had formed with the intention of creating a mining affiliate of the I.W.W.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, The National Guard restores order
On 9 September, the mine owners announced that they would recognize neither union, because neither union appeared to be able to keep the peace among the miners. The owners said that they would nonetheless honor the terms of the existing contract with the WFM. But the mines, previously WFM union shops, would be run as open shops, with no distinction as to union membership.

On 6 October, the district court ordered that Butte Mayor Lewis Duncan and the county sheriff be removed from office for not performing their duties. The county commissioners appointed a new sheriff, and the city council chose a new mayor.

The three officers of the insurgent union were put on trial charged with kidnapping, for forcibly driving miners who refused to join the new union to leave the district. The defendants objected that what they had done was just standard practice of the WFM. President Muckie McDonald and Vice-President Joseph Bradley were found guilty and sentenced to three years and seven years, respectively. The third union officer was acquitted.

The last National Guardsmen left Butte on 12 November 1914.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Legacy
In December, the national board of the Western Federation of Miners belatedly charged the local officers in Butte with various failures to perform their duties, and asked for their resignation; they refused. WFM attorney Guy Miller went to court to gain control of the local on behalf of the national Western Federation of Miners, but failed in the courts. The courts held that the local was owned and controlled by its members, not the national union.


1914 Butte, Montana, labor riots, Legacy
The result of the riots, and the ensuing standoff between the two labor factions, was that the former union stronghold of Butte became an open-shop district, and the mine owners recognized no union from 1914 until 1934. Although the IWW was not officially connected with the new miners union or the riots, The WFM leadership, along with other labor unions, blamed the disturbances on the IWW.
