Clarksburg, West Virginia – Mother Jones Arrested by U. S. Marshals
From the Akron Beacon Journal of June 21, 1902:
MOTHER JONES ARRESTED.
Clarksburg, W. Va., June 21.-“Mother” Jones, Thomas Haggerty, William Morgan, Bernard Rice, George Baron, Andrew Lascavish and William Blakely of the United Mine Workers from different parts of the country, who were arrested here last night, were taken to Parkersburg by four deputy marshals and lodged in jail.
The miners have leased a plot of ground at Clarksburg for the purpose of holding meetings, and will make the arrest their chief defense. The arrest was made under an injunction issued a few days ago by Judge J. Jackson of the United States circuit court. The amount of their bail has not been fixed, but the men were provided with sufficient funds to secure their own releases.
This is the first time that “Mother” Jones has been arrested, although she has been served with innumerable injunctions.
