EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the end of the Pullman Company strike in 1894. The image showcases a scene that unfolded on July 10th, as the first meat train departed from Chicago's stockyards under the watchful eye of a U. S. Cavalry escort. This drawing, sourced from an authentic contemporary American newspaper, provides us with a glimpse into this significant event. The late 19th century was marked by labor unrest and social tensions, and the Pullman Strike stands out as one of its defining moments. As workers protested against unfair wages and working conditions imposed by George Pullman's company, tensions escalated to such an extent that federal troops were called upon to restore order. In this powerful illustration, we witness a stark contrast between two worlds colliding on opposite sides of railroad tracks. On one side stand determined strikers representing the working class - men who have taken up arms against injustice. On the other side are uniformed soldiers atop their horses; they symbolize authority and power. This image serves as a reminder of both struggle and resilience during turn-of-the-century America. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in labor history but also highlights societal divisions that persist today. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into how conflicts shaped our nation's progress towards fairer treatment for workers across industries.
