The 1913 massacre (also known as the Italian Hall Disaster) refers to the tragedy in which seventy-five men, women and children were crushed to death on December 25, 1913 in Calumet, Michigan.

In 1913 appalling working conditions and low wages in the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company copper mines had brought the miners out on strike action. On Christmas Eve many of the striking miners and their families had gathered for a Christmas party. According to some estimates, there were over five hundred people in all. The party was being held in the second floor of the town's Italian Hall. A steep stairway was the only way to the second floor.

The tragedy occurred when someone yelled "Fire". People panicked and rushed for the stairs. In the ensuing melee seventy-five people (including fifty-nine children) were killed. When the dust settled it was found that there had been no fire. To date it has not been established who had cried "Fire" and why.

The event was immortalized by Woody Guthrie in a song of the same name.
