President Grover Cleveland sent federal troops to break up the Pullman Strike in 1894. The strike began when workers at the Pullman Company protested wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing. The intervention was justified on the grounds of maintaining mail delivery and public order, as the strike disrupted rail traffic and affected mail trains. The deployment of troops ultimately led to violent clashes and further escalated tensions between labor and government.
