B. the Federal government issued an injunction to end it.

Answer: B) the Federal government issued an injunction to end it.

The Pullman Strike was a nationwide railroad strike in the United States, which lasted from May 11 to July 20, 1894. The strike started due to a reduction in wages in Pullman, Chicago.

US Attorney General Richard Olney, under direction from President Cleveland, obtained an injunction in federal court. This barred union leaders from supporting the strike. It also threatened to fire the participants. When they did not comply, federal troops were called in to enforce it.
