During Cripple Creek's boom days, everybody seemed to be getting fatter, everybody except the miners who were spending eight hours underground every day. The inequalities in pay, general prejudices and bad working conditions led to one of the most infamous labor disputes in national history, the Ludlow strike, during which the cruelty of mine bosses and rabble-rousers alike came to the attention of the American public. Katherine Sturdevant, senior history faculty at Pikes Peak Community College and great-granddaughter of the president of Victor Miner's Local No. 32 will speak at 7 tonight about the events that foreshadowed Ludlow.
