TIL of 1913 Christmas Eve Calumet Massacre: bosses' anti-strike org 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. 73 people, mostly kids of striking miners, were killed.
