1 Jan 1894 Jahr - 1894 - The Pullman Strike was led by Eugene Debs, and came about as a result of wage cuts and layoffs in the Pullman Palace Car company. The strike involved sabotage, and was brutally broken by the US Army, called in by Grover Cleveland. Debs was convicted of violating a court order, but his career was started by this strike, and the brutality with which it was broken would somewhat modify government responses in the future.
