What the result of the Seattle general strike?
The Seattle General Strike of 1919 resulted in a significant labor movement demonstration, with over 65,000 workers participating. Though it lasted only five days, the strike highlighted tensions between labor and government, as well as public fears about radicalism following World War I. Ultimately, the strike ended without achieving its immediate goals, leading to a crackdown on labor organizations and a decline in union power in the region for years to come. However, it also set the stage for future labor rights movements and discussions around workers' conditions.
What is the definition of Pullman Strike?
The Pullman Strike began in May 1894 when workers at the Pullman Palace Car factory near Chicago, Illinois walked out. They had attempted to negotiate their decreased wages and the fact that the prices and rents in the Pullman "company town" where they were required to live and shop had remained high, but were ignored. Some of the workers belonged to the American Railway Union (ARU) and asked for its help. When the ARU's attempt to have the dispute arbitrated failed, it announced that its members would no longer work on trains that included Pullman cars. Within four days, over 125,000 workers had joined the boycott, and 125,000 more in 27 states followed. Railroad traffic nationwide was crippled. Inconvenience, a few acts of vandalism by striking workers, and the huge number of striking workers frightened the public. In early July, the federal government reacted with an injunction basically forbidding all boycott activity. When this had no effect, President Grover Cleveland sent in United States Marshals and about 12,000 U.S. Army troops, justifying this drastic action on the grounds that the strike interfered with the delivery of the U.S. Mail and threatened public safety. 13 strikers were killed and 57 were wounded. The soldiers worked with local authorities and got the trains running again. By mid-July both the boycott and the union were done. ARU president Eugene Victor Debs was arrested and jailed for disobeying the injunction. Though the American public remained deeply divided on the issue of labor unions for many more years, the Pullman Strike and the way it was resolved probably resulted in more sympathy for unions overall. Though the public wanted the trains running again, many also sympathized with the workers' economic difficulties. A U.S. government commission formed to investigate the strike strongly criticized the company's refusal to arbitrate and called its company town "un-American." President Cleveland knew he had alienated labor and its supporters and attempted to conciliate them by creating a national Labor Day just 6 days after the strike ended. Nevertheless, he lost the Democratic nomination for President in 1896, in large part due to opposition by Illinois Governor Altgeld, who was incensed by Cleveland's having sent in U.S. Army troops. In 1898, the Illinois Supreme Court demanded that the Pullman Company divest itself of its company town and its control over where its employees worked and shopped and how much they paid.
