This drawing by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:John_French_Sloan" title="Category:John French Sloan">John French Sloan</a> adorned the cover of the June, 1914 monthly publication of <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Masses" class="extiw" title="en:The Masses">en:The Masses</a></i>, the issue released immediately after the <b><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_massacre" title="Ludlow massacre">Ludlow massacre</a></b>. It accompanied and illustrated an article entitled "CLASS WAR IN COLORADO" by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Eastman" class="extiw" title="en:Max Eastman">en:Max Eastman</a>. The issue sold for ten cents. The illustration is somewhat fanciful; at the time of the Ludlow Massacre, the miners had been on strike for more than six months, and would have had no occasion to be wearing the traditional miner's cap. But there definitely was a day-long gun battle, the strikers' tent colony was torched, and in the pit beneath one of the tents, eleven children and two women lost their lives due to asphyxiation.
