which of the following was not a consequence of the pullman strike
A labor day was established as a national holiday
B an injunction was used for the first time to break a strik
C railroad traffic in the american midwest was disrupted
D wages for workers manufacting rail road cars were cut
A labor day was established as a national holiday
To determine which of the following was not a consequence of the Pullman Strike, let's look at each option and eliminate the one that does not fit:
A. Labor Day was established as a national holiday: To verify if this consequence was connected to the Pullman Strike, we need to recall the context and history. The Pullman Strike took place in 1894, while Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 as well. Therefore, this consequence was not directly caused by the Pullman Strike.
B. An injunction was used for the first time to break a strike: An injunction is a legal order that prohibits a certain action. In the case of the Pullman Strike, an injunction was indeed used to break the strike. Therefore, this consequence was connected to the Pullman Strike.
C. Railroad traffic in the American Midwest was disrupted: This consequence was a direct result of the Pullman Strike. The strike involved workers of the Pullman Palace Car Company, which manufactured train cars, and it greatly disrupted railroad traffic in the American Midwest.
D. Wages for workers manufacturing railroad cars were cut: This consequence does not align with the impact of the Pullman Strike. The strike was primarily focused on labor conditions and worker rights, not specifically about wage cuts. Therefore, this consequence was not a direct result of the Pullman Strike.
By comparing the options, we can conclude that the consequence which was not a result of the Pullman Strike is:
A. Labor Day was established as a national holiday.
