United States Labor Report On Pullman Strike
The government report signed by Labor Commissioner Carroll J Wright and others says the Pullman Company union was an illegal organization that usurped power. It faults the General Managers' Association and Pullman for blocking conciliation and supports recognizing labor unions and arbitration. It urges a national commission and legal protections for workers and warns that federal deputies at railroads set a dangerous precedent. It notes wages from 1893 justified but concessions might have averted the strike and calls for more balanced relations between capital and labor.
