What will be an ideal response?
Answer: After the owner of the model company town cut wages by one-third during a recession, the workers, led by Eugene Debs, joined at the American Railway Union. But Pullman refused to submit to arbitration, forcing a confrontation with the beleaguered workers. Federal troops ordered by President Grover Cleveland eventually ended the strike in favor of the owner.
