Third Martial Law

After the Battle of Mucklow, the third and final Martial law was called. In no other time in history did martial law take on the scale than it did during this time. There were almost 300 arrests of miners, including strike leaders and Mother Jones. These arrests led to military tribunals for murder and inciting violence against the coal operators and guards. Civil Courts were still in session but they were not used at that time. The guards and the coal operators did not face any charges against them for their actions in the Strike.
