The Pullman Strike began in May 1894 when workers at the Pullman Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing. The American Railway Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, supported the strike by refusing to handle trains that carried Pullman cars, which disrupted rail traffic nationwide. The federal government intervened, dispatching troops to break the strike, leading to violent clashes and several deaths. The strike effectively ended in July 1894 after the intervention, with the union's defeat marking a significant setback for labor movements at the time.
