1894 witnessed the Pullman Strike, where workers of the Pullman Palace Car Company, which produced railroad cars, boycotted the railroad industry and demanded higher wages and better working conditions. The strike severely interrupted the railroad industry and the US government stepped in and forced an injunction to break the strike for the first time in US history. Soldiers were sent in to ensure that the trains would no longer be stopped by the striking workers. This 1894 Morgan dollar recalls this monumental strike and an unprecedented decision by the President to end it with military force.
