Colorado Experience: Ludlow Massacre

One of the most significant events in the struggle for labor laws in America played out in Las Animas County in the spring of 1914. With the control of much of Colorado's coal mines in the hands of just a few companies, miners grew increasingly intolerant of low wages and dangerous working conditions. Despite efforts to suppress union activity, the United Mine Workers of America called a strike in September of 1913. Over the next few months, tensions escalated as the striking miners ransacked several mines. The dispute culminated in a violent clash on April 20, 1914. Despite this tragic outcome, the event sparked national outrage and led the way of workers' rights in America.

Hello everybody. My grandfather Giuseppe Battista Mucci was a coal miner in Colorado around 1910. LIke many other people from the italian mountains, he came to USA to earn a salary, to feed his poor family in Italy. He escaped the massacre, because he had come back to Europe in time (in time to take part to one of the biggest massacres in XIX century, the world war one).When I was a boy, he used to tell me stories from his living experience. He told me that one day, one of his workmates was hit by a mine trolley. My grandfather and the others could only bring him back to the barrack where they used to sleep and wait till he he died. No medical assistance at all. Battista was really a quiet and polite man. He worked very hard all his life long or a poor salary, but he never complained. But the death of his workmate was really too much to stand.

My Dad went to work in the IL Coal mines at 13, the summer after graduating 8th grade. This was 1920 there was plenty of Teenage boys working the mines. My Dad hand drilled and packed the Dynamite charges. Safety and Child labors laws meant nothing. This was after the Cherry Il coal mine disaster of 1909, where 259 men and boys lost there lives. He went passed that closed mine to go to the mine he working in 1920. Nothing changed until the late 1930's, when the Depression eased up. There was alot of Italians recruited to work the C. mines. In fact most of the Ludlow massacre victims were Italians. The stories of Ludlow made it up to Iowa and Illinois through the Italian Grapevine.

It appears the Rockefellers and a few other extremely wealthy families who ruled the economy during the Gilded Age were like the royalty of Europe prior to democratization; they felt entitled and their rank and file employees were thought of as a necessary component of extracting wealth for them (basically serfs/indentured servants, slightly better off than slaves) but not worried much about their general welfare.

mhh.. the Ludlow Massacre was that bad for Rockefellers reputation "Rauber-Barons" but luckly enough Rockefeller met Ivy Lee... is considered by some to be the founder of modern public relations. The term Public Relations is to be found for the first time in the preface of the 1897 Yearbook of Railway Literature. "In 1914 he was to enter public relations on a much larger scale when he was retained by John D. Rockefeller Jr to represent his family and Standard Oil, ("to burnish the family image"), after the coal mining rebellion in Colorado known as the "Ludlow Massacre". Upton Sinclair dubbed him "Poison Ivy" after Lee tried to send bulletins saying those that died were victims of an overturned stove, when in fact they were shot by the Colorado militia. From then on he faithfully served the Rockefellers and their corporate interests, including a strong involvement in Rockefeller Center - he was in fact the first to suggest to Junior (against his reservations) that he give to the complex his family name - even after he moved on to set up his own consulting firm. He became an inaugural member of the Council on Foreign Relations in the U.S. when it was established in New York City in 1921." Wikipedia Even if you clean Rockefellers name, the blood of the past doesn't fade away...

Unions came about solely for the protection of the workers as they had no other form of advocate, surly not the government that at the time believed in very limited involvement in the live of its citizens. The great strides the union made in the lives of its members allowed them to prosper and their families to grow and become educated as much as they wanted to. Somewhere in the 1960's though established unions like the UMWA or the UAW & the Teamsters seemed to be more involved in justifying their own existence over protecting the rank and file. Part of this had to do with federal health and safety laws that took over the protection of the workers from the unions to the point all they were concerned about was more money and that was what strikes at mines & businesses were grounded in and that in itself led to the general public's lack of support for the unions because they were seen as greedy.

Unions may have served a purpose but now working men and women have no need of them, they bring greed and corruption and organized crime into the trades, stealing from both working man and boss alike simply to line their pockets.

Convert, who says, that the mining-owners (supposedly) saw this strike as: “AN ATTACK ON & TO THEIRS RIGHT(S) TO & OF THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY”. Well, that may be so, but in all our real true life world reality of all people & things THE REAL TRUE MAIN REASON & CAUSE of & for this very strike as is for the rest of them are truly the endless & such the numerous - all working men strikes against their employers - IT IS ALWAYS & IT IS ONLY FOR &OR BECAUSE OF THEIRS ALL SUCH ONE & ALL THE SAME VERY REASON of all theirs such much far too beyond it all -too harsh or hard or unfair but their real mis- & far too horrific treatments of theirs one for all & such “self-righteous” imperial-feudalist dead-stead-convinced superiority’s over the rest & above all the others, theirs such much too despicable gross selfishness-sickness & disease of self-indulgence fuels all of theirs really border-less size-less & limit-less mega cosmic proportions mass gluttony their evil black-holed greed breeds real-life-nightmare monsters with the slave-owners out-look on of individual & theirs world & humanity slave owner view - is beyond in- un- & non-humane but is one - predatory-parasite’ mentality. And that is the REAL TRUTH & TRUE FACT. Thus, let us ALL, then, but do call IT as & for WHAT ALL OF IT REALLY & EXACTLY IS.... without any such two-faced “diplomacies” & double-speaking pretentiousness & out-right lying in & for the sake of “political or & social correctness” of “sugar-coating” keeping on “beating around the bushes”.

With near 1/2 the US population non-productive, majority of children in schools today no longer living within a traditional family structure, the slack is taken up [taxes funded] by those with traditional motivation, focus.... and faith. The 'land of plenty' attracts the world. If there were no 'ever increasing, automatic funding' for the perpetually dependency addicted, in essence the very real possibility of non-survival, there would be no need for a 'wall'... No need for borders. The problem with USA.. far too attractive, too prosperous, with individual Freedoms non-existent around the world.

We all belong to the land and came from the Earth. We'll soon return there. The land doesn't belong to anyone. UNITE & FIGHT BACK against slavery. People are born free and should remain free until the land take us back to it's hands. Fascism is the ideology of the slaves. I'm a free man and want others to be free.

In a perverse way, this episode proves that racism in NOT at the core of the American Experience. It does so by showing that the property-owning class is willing and able to slaughter WORKERS of ANY race, creed, or religion!

my ancestors were brought into Colorado to break the Ludlow strike....they were austrians/ukranians....recruited in NYC....I am sure they had NO clue of the fight at Ludlow....they didn't speak english.....they were "played" by the mining companies...and I had a great uncle who died at a mining accident somewhere in the Lousiville/Erie area....we have NO clue....his life was NOT important and no records exist.......may the mine owners rot in h*ll for what they did to immigrant families just trying to make a living....feed their children....

Bernie is a great candidate to change things up for the betterment of America and the worker's. I think we're going to have a great man. Bernie would make great changes, and STILL ARE HERE for the better. You can think about it, but, I want you to think of what would be bad? Can't get anyone worse than Don. Bernie is for change for the better. Bidens going to be a strong president, but I see the status quote from his administration. Very comfy. My opinion, change is good! Run, BERNIE, BEAT ALL CHALLENGERS, AND BE OUR PRESIDENT!.

@matt s Are you happy with his disregard of our Constitution. Remember Trump's words, The so called phoney Constition. And yes, I have hated him for many years. I saw the horse's arse on Tom Snyder in 1978. Knew he was an idiot, and a con man. and tasteless as he's now.. You can say what you want. He's 6 pussy. I would have loved playing him in any sport when I was younger. This guy has no clue. That's why I don't like him. He's beyond a rotten president. I will be so happy, but I realize the stupid people voting for the DICTATOR tRump. I think he is a traitor. You are correct, I don't like the tax fraud. I don't like his family. They'll be in prison when they unveill his income, and how he and his family's earning, And earned it. It's the end for the dummy tRimp. Sooner than soon.

If it wasn't for workers fighting (and dying) for fair pay, fair working hours, and safe working conditions most of us would be living in a company town earning scrip. Hurrah for socialist initiatives! 🎉
