Since nothing links here, this entry will be lost. Why not make it a subsection at Calumet, Michigan, with a redirect from here? -- Wetman 09:17, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

A famous Supreme Court Justice said that Freedom of Speech does not extend to crying out "Fire!" in a crowded building.
Did this dictum get made before or after the 1913 massacre?
Which justice?

IIRC, in the film The Magnificent Yankee Holmes struggles to find an example that justifies the suppression of free speech (in time of war?) and the above phrase is what he and his close collegue comes up with. Syd1435 04:33, 2004 Nov 25 (UTC)

In a spy movie, the hero, a western agent, is about to get caught in a theatre by the KGB. He shouts "fire" and in the pandemonium that results, is able to escape. Syd1435 02:29, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)

I've yet to read it. If any proper information from that book that could add more insight to this incident, to add to the article, it would be great if anyone could add to this. Peoplesunionpro 19:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

From the article:
This is true, but it implies that the strike affected only C&H. The 1913 strike hit every mine in the Copper Country -- C&H just happened to be the biggest. I can't figure out an appropriate way to say this -- anyone have a suggestion? -- dcclark ( talk) 15:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I didn't see any mention in the main article about the possibility that the call of 'Fire' was actually based on a misunderstanding from something someone said in another language, probably Finnish, or said in English and misinterpretted as Fire in Finnish. There was (and still is) a large Finnish population in the Calumet area. These are things I only know from having lived in the Calumet are and hearing them as local legend so cannot speak of references. Perhaps someone could assist.
Also, I have heard that because so many people were killed in the event, the Calumet Theater was used as a temporary morgue, and for identification of the bodies. Entire families lost their lives that day and supposedly lay together dead at the theater leading to stories of hauntings.“ Nbcouling ( talk) 02:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)”

I discovered that a POV template had been applied to this article stating that the neutrality of this article is disputed, dated August 2012. I have examined the talk page and have found no references to "POV" "neutrality" or "bias" by anyone including the author of the POV template, User:yutsi. I have contacted the author to inform him that if anyone wishes to challenge the neutrality of this article, it should be done using the article:Talk page as directed by the template. I have examined the article and found no evidence of bias. I am therefore removing the neutrality template, but will leave the discussion open.

I have been working on making this article better in a sandbox of mine. Does anyone have any suggestions or criticism? There are still some unfinished or unstarted sections. Chris857 ( talk) 21:36, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the 'Aftermath' section starts out with "The Alliance's offer was not unconditional." but the article never refers to any offer by the Citizens' Alliance. Radial ( talk) 19:27, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
"men, women and children" is a trite and unencyclopedic appeal to emotion. What about "people" was not sufficient to convey who the victims were in this disaster? -- 23.119.204.117 ( talk) 01:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Why delete it? One of the photo captions reads "a funeral procession held on the Sunday". How many days is that since the tragedy? Without knowing what day of the week it happened, how will the reader know? Grassynoel ( talk) 07:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
