Answer
A
Eugene Debs receiving a pardon for his involvement.
B
the company losing very little money.
C
the company rehiring workers that withdrew from the union.
D
other companies handling strikes themselves instead of going to court.

Explanation

The strike ended after federal troops intervened and the workers returned to work. Pullman required workers who wanted their jobs back to leave the union, so the company rehired workers who withdrew from it. Eugene Debs was not pardoned for his role in the strike; he was imprisoned for defying a court injunction.
