Samuel Gompers, letter to Judge Peter Grosscup, September 1894 “You say that ‘labor must not attack capital.’ . . . labor has no quarrel with capital, as such. It is merely the possessors of capital who refuse to [give] labor . . . the justice which is the laborers’ due with whom we contend. . . .” Source: Great Issues in American History, vol. 2, p. 108. Which of these individuals is MOST likely to have disagreed with the viewpoint expressed in the quote? a. Mary Kenney O’Sullivan c. George Pullman b. Terence Powderly d. Mother Jones

Respuesta :

C--George Pullman 

George Pullman owned the Pullman Rail car Company in Chicago. His company was center to one of the largest strikes in American history in 1894. 

George Pullman created Pullman Company Town which house the factory, homes for workers, a store, a school, a church, and hotel for guests of Pullman. The workers were required to live there while Pullman controlled both pay and rent prices. Workers held a strike in 1894 reacting as Gompers describes in the quote--they had no problem with making money, but rather the treatment they were experiencing by Pullman. This strike stopped all rail cars in the US and eventually President Cleveland sent the army to bring the strike down. 
The answer is George Pullman.
