14 июл 1877 г. - The Great Strike of 1877

Описание:

In July 1877, workers for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad (B&O) struck to protest their second wage cut in two months. The
work stoppage spread to other lines. Most freight and even some passenger traffic, covering over 50,000 miles, was stopped for more than a week. After several
state governors asked President Rutherford B. Hayes to intervene, saying that the
strikers were impeding interstate commerce, federal troops ended the strike.
