ACT
From a lengthy essay on the history of the railroad in the United States. This section describes President Grover Cleveland's role in sending federal troops to suppress the Pullman boycott, resulting in increased chaos from the undisciplined men that were hired to fill the boycotted jobs. A few years after the boycott was ended, an investigation and a court ruling reduced the power of the railroad company and placed responsibility for regulation on the federal government.
