How did government react to Eugene v debs actions in the Pullman strike?

The government reacted to Eugene V. Debs' involvement in the Pullman Strike of 1894 with a strong crackdown. Federal troops were deployed to break the strike, citing the disruption of mail delivery as justification for intervention. Debs was arrested and jailed for defying a court injunction against the strike, highlighting the government's willingness to side with corporate interests over labor rights. This response underscored the tensions between labor movements and government authority during that era.
