You can read about it in Acts 19. The temple of Diana was a world-renowned site in Ephesus. The Ephesians were afraid that, because of the spread of the gospel in Ephesus, the temple of Diana would be ignored. Therefore, they started a riot against Paul, shouting "Great is the goddess Diana" for many hours until they were finally dispersed.

Demetrius did.
Demetrius sold idols to the people in Ephesus. |But when Paul stayed there he converted many to "The Way", this, put Demetrius out of business so he filed false charges against Paul and encouraged the people that Paul was a bad man.

"Since many ephesians had forsaken the worship of (Artemis)
the silversmith (Demetrius)pointed out to fellow craftsmen that
Paul's preaching was a threat to their occupation and also endan-
gered the worship of Artemis.Enraged silversmiths shouted;"Great
is artemis of the ephesians!" The city was thrown into an uproar,
climaxed by a two-hour riot at a theater capable of holding some
25,000 spectators.-Acts.19:23-41.Is this to what you refer?

The followers of the Goddess Artemis and the craftsman that made her statue. They were worried that they would go broke because they would have no more business.
