Which of the following best states the relationship between the government, company management, and striking workers during the late 1800s?

During the late 1800s, governments often intervened in major labor disputes to protect business operations and restore order, sometimes using troops or court injunctions against strikers. This meant the government generally sided with companies rather than striking workers. Choice C best describes that pattern; companies did not hire government agents to encourage strikes.
