Sixty- six persons are known to have been killed and forty - eight wounded in the num erous battles and disorders since the miners went on strike , Sep 23 1 913 tember , . Classified , eighteen strikers , ten mine guards , nineteen mine employes , two militia - men , three non combatants , two women and twelve children lost their lives . Twenty had been killed 20 prior to April , the date of the massacre at Lud - low, and forty six were killed during the next ten days , until federal troops stopped the warfare . The cost of the eight months ’industrial conflict is estimated at The figures include representing the state ’s expense in main taining state troops in the field until the arrival of the federal forces ; an estimated cost of “ $ to the union , and a loss of several millions claimed by the operators . It seems impossible that here in supposedly free America , men , women and children must be h slaughtered , mothers wit babes in their arms must be ridden down and maimed by a man like Adjutant General Chase , a pliant lickspittle of the operators ; that the motherhood of the nation must submit to robber abuse y, , and fiendish outrages ; that men and women must forego their right of trial by jury and other injustices that they may force the capitalist owned state and county executives to enforce the - laws and re establish constitutional government . But the fact remains that the Colorado miners have suffered all of these thin gs that they might secure an enforcement of state laws . WALTER H . FINK .

The Greek members of the Ludlow tent colony were celebrating their Easter . n . r. Joh D Rockefeller , J , had just preached the word of God to his Sunday school class in New York City . The strikers an d their families were enjoying a themselves at a baseb ll game . They were a happy , - - care free audience of twenty one nationalities , think ing of nothing but the freedom from industrial and political slavery jthat they were willingly purchas ing by an incessant war with the elements , with the i mported assassins of John D . Rockefeller, with the corporation - owned state and county officialsof Colo rado . It had been a day of joy, a day such as victory in the strike will bring them every twenty- four hours of the future . The baseball game was almost over when down out of the hills , where these strikers had lived in hovels like hogs , had been robbed of their coal , had been deprived of their political , industrial and reli gions liberty, had been driven into unsafe mines to the be slaughtered , came gunmen of industry, the “ hired murderers of Sunday school teacher and phil ‘ $ anthropist John D . Rockefeller, Jr . There were five of these gunmen on horseback - and armed with high power rifles. They came to break up the baseball game . But they realized that even high - powered rifles and machine guns trained on the baseball diamond from the hills might n ot be able to combat the crowd of fans , and they started d away chagrine . Some of the strikers ’ wives and children laughed at these imported assassins who were too cowardly to carry out their purpose . “ ’ ’ Oh , that s all right ; have your fun today ; we ll 8 T H E L U D L o w M A S S A C R E a have our ro st tomorrow, said one of the gunmen , and they rode away . Little did these peaceful men , women and chil dren realize the horrible prophecy this thug was i mak ng . They were accustomed to the intimidation of nm these gu en . They knew that these derelicts were hired to murder them , but not for a moment did i “ $ they magine that our ro as t tomorrow, as threat ened by the gunmen , was to be their cremation . They did not know that the gunmen militiamen had trained six machine guns on the Ludlow tent colony the night before . They did not know that these same murderers of the State of Colorado and John D . Rockefeller had completely surrounded the m ca p . They did not know that their massacre was only a question of when three bombs should be ex loded H k p at the headquarters of Major amroc . April 20th dawned a typical morning for the strikers . Men were busy with their chores . Here and there throughout the tent colony could be heard the merry little song of the washboard . Children o ut darted here and there of the tents , happy, play 300 n ful tots , not k owing that before the sun had set they were to go through the most terrible holo r canst in the histo y of industrial struggles . In the rear of Snodgrass ’store men and boys were playing baseball . Since last September these people had been taught nothing but peace . Their leaders had told them day after day that they could never hope to make the disinterested citizen understand their side of the controversy unless they strictly obeyed every “ law and attended to their own busines s. Men in every walk of life who have investigated the strike or spent any time in the district have talked of the almost ultra - conservatism of the union l officia s . The men and women and children of the tent colonies had absorbed this feeling of obeyance T H E L U D L O W M A S S A C R E 9 to the laws . They had patiently suffered the intimi dation and tortures of the gunmen and militiamen . It was o ’clock that morning when the strik ers an d their wives and children were thrown into a panic of fear by the explosion of a bomb at the H m ro k tent of Major a c . It was the Signal to the milti am en n gunmen , surrou ding the camp on all it sides , that was time to start the massacre of the innocents of Ludlow and destroy the tent colony .

  • The Colorado Coalfield War of 1913-'14
    The Colorado Coalfield War of 1913-’14 How did Colorado become the scene of the most violent strike in U.S. history? What rights should workers exercise? What rights should employers possess? And what role should government play when labor and management conflict? By Thomas Andrews1 Background On an April morning in 1914, bullets began to fly fast and furious near a tiny town called Ludlow in the southern Colorado foothills. By the time the fighting stopped ten days later, more than fifty people had been killed. Dozens more had been wounded, several mine tunnels had been reduced to rubble, two towns lay in ashes, and a tent colony that had housed more some 1,200 people for upwards of seven months lay in rubble. These events, which people of the time variously referred to as the Ludlow Massacre, the Battle of Ludlow, and the Ten Days’ War—marked the most contentious phase in a much longer conflict: The Colorado coalfield war of 1913-’14. On one side of this conflict stood striking coal mine workers, their families, and the the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), the nation’s largest labor union. Opposing these strikers were two powerful foes: the Colorado National Guard and coal-mining companies led by the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel & Iron Company (CF&I). The coalfield war of 1913-’14 brought several decades of conflict between workers, corporations, and the State of Colorado to a contentious head. The most violent strike in United States history, the coalfield war attracted national and even international attention. Though southern Colorado was relatively remote and isolated, the struggle that erupted there between miners and mining corporations cut to the heart of a broader conflict that stood at the very center of political, economic, and social life.

Washington, DC August 20, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Stephanie Taylor All Rights Reserved ii “I HAVE THE EAGLE:” CITIZENSHIP AND LABOR IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1890-1925 Stephanie Lynn Taylor, M.F.A. Thesis Advisor: Joseph A. McCartin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the critical years of American industrialization and rising status as a world power, a great struggle unfolded in the United States over workers’ status as citizens and what rights their status entailed. The outcome of this struggle shaped and constrained what workers would achieve in twentieth-century America. Just as imperialism raised the question of whether “the Constitution followed the flag” abroad, industrial conflict in those years raised the question of whether the flag – and the Constitution it symbolized – would follow laboring men and women into workplaces, streets, homes, and interactions with employers and government authorities. This dissertation argues that labor conflicts in this period were frequently fought over the boundaries and content of working-class citizenship. However, by the dawn of the New Deal era, the right to organize had become narrowly defined as a matter of market regulation, not as a matter of constitutional principles. This dissertation draws on the experiences of a wide range of workers to make its argument, including Japanese plantation laborers in Hawaii, agricultural workers along the U.S.-Mexico border, coal miners in Colorado, ore miners in the Midwest, and mill workers in the Northeast.

  • The Fight for Industrial Democracy and Domestic Prosperity: Working Class and Prominent Women’S Participation in the Colorado Coal Field Strike, 1913-15
    UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, BOULDER The Fight for Industrial Democracy and Domestic Prosperity: Working Class and Prominent Women’s Participation in the Colorado Coal Field Strike, 1913-15. Undergraduate Honors Thesis Department of History Taylor Rose Martin Spring 2015 Advised by: Thomas Andrews- Department of History Committee Members: Fred Anderson- Department of History Andrea Feldman- Department of Writing and Rhetoric Abstract This thesis examines the involvement of women, both working and upper class, in the Colorado Coal Field Strike, 1913-15. First, I will provide a background for the strike including the Industrial Revolution, the rise of big business, and the influx of immigration which shaped the mining towns. Second, I investigate the participation of mining town women and their complex social and political identities. These women fought to improve their domestic goals, not challenge them. Despite this, they understood the need to utilize Colorado’s womens’ suffrage to get the working class into office. Third, there will be a discussion on the Ludlow Massacre and the nation’s reaction to the event. This battle, branded as a “massacre” pushed upper class citizens to protest for the humanitarian treatment of workers and their families. Then, I investigate the actions of more prominent citizens, first those of upper class women in Denver and then the protests of socialist Upton Sinclair. The upper class women of Denver fought politically enforcing their influence in politics and adding credibility to their citizenship and suffrage, which women gained in Colorado in 1893. Finally, implications of the strike are discussed including industrial reform, the participation of working class women in strikes, and the importance of considering women in public relations and political decisions.

  • History and Legacy of the Ludlow Massacre
    Background History for the Colorado Bar Association 2003 High School Mock Trial Competition December 2001 HISTORY AND LEGACY OF THE LUDLOW MASSACRE Dean J. Saitta Department of Anthropology University of Denver Denver, CO 80208 [email protected] PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR The Ludlow Massacre was the defining event of the 1913-1914 Colorado Coal Field Strike. This coal strike was one of the most violent in United States history. It resulted in an estimated 66 deaths and an unknown number of wounded. The question of who “won” the strike—coal companies or organized labor—can be answered differently. Although the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) did not achieve its most important goal of Union recognition, the strike can nonetheless be seen as a victory for organized labor. The striking miners held out for 14 months in makeshift tent colonies on the Colorado prairie. They endured through one of the worst winters in Colorado history. They persevered despite the considerable ethnic diversity of the coal fields—24 different languages were spoken—which undoubtedly made collective action difficult. The strikers were eventually undone by the superior economic and political resources of the coal companies, and the depletion of UMWA strike funds. Certainly, the events of the strike and, especially, the deaths of women and children at Ludlow, outraged the American public and forced some key reforms in management-labor relations (Crawford, 1995; Gitelman 1998). This background history has several purposes. One is to put the Colorado coal strike into a wider national and historical context. Another is to provide details about specific events of the strike and highlight the consequences and legacies of those events.
