State machinery in coal mine treason trials in West Virginia
Charles Town lawyers paid by the state lead the treason trials of miners. Belcher, allied with coal owners, opens the case and seeks to prove union activity is illegal. Other anti union lawyers direct actions against miners in Logan and surrounding fields.
