Commemorating the centennial of the Cripple Creek Labor Wars, 1903-1904, this book recalls the causes and consequences of one of the eras violent labor strikes that spread throughout the Colorado mine fields. This publication contains papers contributed by the presenting authors during the June 5, 2004, symposium at Pikes Peak Library District and is intended to contribute to the scholarship regarding the events that occurred in the Cripple Creek District during the Colorado Labor Wars. Photographs include Western Federation of Miners (WFM) members who were arrested and held by the Colorado State Militia, then deported from the state as a consequence of their union affiliation. A "must read" for those interested in labor history, mining, and a time when the WFM asked, "Is Colorado in America?"

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... Saturday, June 18th.--Board of Inquiry moves its headquarters to county jail. Sunday, June 19th--Was quiet, nothing more than the regular sweating of prisoners occurred. Crump announced that he was continuing his work of sweating the members of the W. F M. in county jail and making good progress and hoped to be prepared to produce some startling evidence when the time for the inquiry into the Victor riot came. Thus ended the second week. It might be well to mention here that a county warrant for $2,000 payable to S. D. Crump had been ordered drawn by the county commissioners. This was the first of a series of five similar warrants which would have to be drawn to make up the $10,000 fee which Crump was to receive as remuneration for prosecuting the perpetrators of the Independence depot outrage, those who started the shooting and the persons who destroyed the Record plant. A. E. Carlton and II. L. Shepard, a prominent mining broker and operator, went on S. D. Crump's bond in the sum oi' $10,000 for the faithful performance of his duties. DEATH OF EMIL JOHNSON. June 23.--Breathing a curse against Governor Peabody, Adjutant General Bell and the state administration which, by exercise of its despotic militarism, had driven him from his wife and babies, Emil L. Johnson, one of the miners recently deported from Cripple Creek, ended his life in the morning by inhaling gas. For some time he had been despondent because the military refused to allow him to return to his family, and when he went to his room at 1646 Larimer street a short time after midnight he disrobed, turned on the gas and laid down on the bed to die. He was discovered about 9:30 by his brother, John T. Johnson, and Police Surgeon Holmquist was summoned. Despite the heroic...
