“Remember Ludlow!”In 1913, mine workers organized with the United Mine Workers went on strike against Rockefeller in the Colorado mountains. They fought for the eight-hour day, for safe working conditions, for an end to the company store system and better compensation, and, above all, for union recognition.

The little Snyder boy was shot through the head, trying to save his kitten. A child carrying water to his dying mother was killed.”When night fell, the union-busters drenched the tents in kerosene and set fire to them; they prevented rescuers from entering to try to save the dying strikers and their families. Thirteen children burned to death in one of the pits dug under the tents.All this to prevent recognizing workers’ power and giving in to their demands.In the aftermath of Ludlow, one writer wrote of the National Guard presence in Colorado, “Peace can never be built on the foundation of Greed and Oppression.
