ing slaughtered by the dozen by muir

Later reports give details of the
slaughter. The militia had been again
called out to restore peace" in the
Ludlow district. The miners proposed
to protect their lives and the lives of
those dear to them. They dug pits to
escape the whitening rife fire, directed
by the soldiery on their camp, which
was finally engulfed in flames. These
pits, no longer places of safety, be-
came death holes in the face of this
new danger. The flames swept over
the helpless women and children trap
ped like rats. In one pit the lifeless
bodies of ten children and two WON
en- were found. Terrified by the bull
lets that whistled through the blaz-
lng canvases, the women and child
zen seemed more afraid OF the lead
than the flames. They hudd(ed in the
