Detailed explanation-1: -Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926) was an American socialist, political activist, trade unionist, one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and five times the candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Debs began working as a locomotive fireman (tending the fires of a train’s steam engine) as a youth in the 1870s. His experience in the American labor movement later led him to socialism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the Pullman workers go on strike? Responding to falling revenue during the economic depression that began in 1893, the Pullman Palace Car Company cut more than 2, 000 workers and reduced wages by 25 percent.
Detailed explanation-4: -The federal government obtained an injunction against the union, Debs, and other boycott leaders, ordering them to stop interfering with trains that carried mail cars. After the strikers refused, President Grover Cleveland ordered in the Army to stop the strikers from obstructing the trains.
