Answer 1

1. Intervene....


This was a Grover Cleveland decision

Answer 2

No question President Grover Cleveland intervened on the side of management. He was pro-business, anti-labor; the answer is 1.


Cleveland's actions in this affair were not only unfair, but illegal. The Pullman workers had agreed to send the mail, the ruse Cleveland used to excuse illegally sending in federal troops. According to the Constitution, such troops can only be sent in at the request of the governor, if federal law is not being violated. In sending the U.S. mail the Pullman workers were not breaking the law. John Peter Altgeld, the Illinois governor, had the situation under control, and did not request, and did not need national troops. But when you are so much in big businesses' pocket, little things like the following the Constitution and respecting a governor's power are not necessary to consider.

Answer 3

1 - intervene on the side of management rather than labor
