_____
About 11,000 miners in southern Colorado had gone on strike against the powerful Colorado Fuel & Iron Corporation (CF&I) to protest low pay, dangerous working conditions. The CF&I, which was owned by the Rockefeller family and Standard Oil, hired private detectives that attacked the tent colonies with rifles and Gatling guns. Two companies of the National Guard attacked the largest tent colony of strikers near the town of Ludlow.
Sixty-six men, women, and children died during the strike, but not a single militiaman or private detective was charged with any crime.
