found: Wikipedia, Aug. 23, 2006(Western Federation of Miners: "The WFM was created in 1893 by the merger of several miners' unions representing copper miners from Butte, Montana, silver and lead miners from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho ... The miners who formed the union had already experienced a number of hard-fought battles with mine owners and governmental authorities: in the Coeur d'Alene strike in 1892, after company guards shot five workers to death, the miners disarmed the guards and marched more than a hundred strikebreakers out of town. In response Governor N.B. Willey asked for federal troops to restore order; President Harrison sent General J.M. Schofield, who declared martial law, arrested 600 strikers and then held them without the right to trial, bail or notice of the charges against them in a stockade prison. Schofield went on to order local mine owners to discharge any union members they had rehired.")
