Oasis in a Time of Turmoil: Dupont’s Montana Experiment in Company Control

from MontanaHistoricalSociety · host MontanaHistoricalSociety

In 1916–1917, the DuPont Company constructed a plant seven miles from Butte to produce explosives for the copper mining that was booming from World War I demand. Near it, the firm built a company town, Ramsay, to house its skilled workers away from the labor upheavals roiling the Mining City. MSU professor Dr. Janet Ore examines DuPont’s Montana experiment in welfare capitalism and evaluates the success of its efforts.
