All mineworkers are hereby notified that a strike of all the coal miners and coke oven workers in Colorado will begin on Tuesday, September 23, 1913 . . . We are striking for improved conditions, better wages, and union recognition. We are sure to win.
The official union announcement, signed by Doyle, Hayes, Lawson, & McLennan
I wish to explore the initial excitement and fervor of the start of the strike, possibly to later contrast it with the morning after Ludlow's massacre.
