There were a lot of similar strikes then. Against Rockefeller mines e.g. Usually the industrialists just hired guns to shoot the strikers, but in some bigger cases they hired the army or national guards to shoot the strikers. The Texas railroad commission war e.g.

And never ever was anyone prosecuted. I mean the only fascist who went to prison was the John du Pont for being extraordinary stupid.
