The Pullman Strike ended when the federal government intervened, leading to the arrest of labor leaders, including Eugene V. Debs, and the break-up of the strike. The strike began in May 1894 when workers at the Pullman Company protested wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing. The situation escalated, leading to disruptions in rail traffic, and the federal government sought to ensure the delivery of mail and the operation of trains. Ultimately, the strike was suppressed, and the troops were sent in to restore order. Debs was imprisoned for defying a court injunction that had ordered the strikers to cease their activities.
