Eugene V. Debs was a prominent American socialist, labor leader, and one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World. During the Pullman Strike of 1894, he supported striking workers by leading the American Railway Union in a boycott of trains carrying Pullman cars. The U.S. government responded by deploying federal troops to break the strike, resulting in violent clashes and the arrest of Debs, who was later convicted of violating an injunction against the strike. This marked a significant moment in labor history, highlighting the government's willingness to intervene in labor disputes to maintain order and protect corporate interests.
