1 Jan 1894 Jahr - 1894 - During the Pullman strike that nearly stopped the Pullman Palace Car's service, President Cleveland sent federal troops to protect strikebreakers running the trains in union members' absence. As a result, the federal government began a soft policy of protecting business interests at the expense of workers' interests. This policy would continue until the Progressive Era, and be enforced through especially executive rather than legislative power.
