Butte Miners' Union No. 1 (Butte, Mont.)

The Butte Miners' Union (BMU) was established in Butte, Montana, in March 1885, a result of the reorganization of the seven-year-old Butte Workingman's Union. The BMU fought for a minimum wage for miners and a closed shop. With chartered branch affiliates in Granite, Neihart, Castle, and Champion, BMU members took the lead in the establishment of the Western Federation of Miners in 1893.
