Eugene V. Debs
As the Pullman strike occurred in 1894, there is not much in the way of recent news. It pitted the American Railway Union and Pullman Palace Car Company against the United States government.
He was the leader of the American Railway Union and was part of the Pullman strike. He eventually was the leader of the Sociallist party.
The president (during the Pullman Strike) of the ARU was Eugene V. Debs; not to be confused with Grover Cleveland: the president of the United States at the time.

The American Railway Union began in 1783. The union sought to unite all railway workers regardless of the craft or trade they provided the railway.
The American Railway Union, founded in Chicago on June 20, 1893, was created in hopes of uniting the railway employees from all types of jobs into one large union.
