Gitelman, Howard M.
Legacy of the Ludlow Massacre: a chapter in American industrial relations Howard A. Gitelman - Philadelphia Univ. of Pennsylvania Press 1988 - xv, 355p.
"On April 20, 1914, ten men and a child were killed in a fierce gun battle between units of the Colorado state militia and striking mine workers at Ludlow. When the militia overran the miners' tent colony and set it on fire, two women and eleven children who had taken cover in a hold dug under a tent died of suffocation. In the wake of this tragedy, the Rockefeller family, owners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, the largest firm involved in the strike, encountered intense public hostility and insistent demands for action. In Legacy of the Ludlow Massacre, Howard M. Gitelman explores John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s responses to the massacre and demonstrates how those reactions altered the course of American industrial relations"--Jacket
