Read the quotation from Theodore Rhodie, a former Pullman employee.“I do not like to walk up there and hand up my membership in the American Railway Union because when a man asks me to give up my principles, my rights as an American citizen, he might just as well ask for my life.”To which result of the Pullman strike is Theodore Rhodie referring?
Answer
A
the loss of money by the Pullman Company
B
the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs
C
the rehiring of workers who resigned from Debs’s union
D
the increase in anti-union court decisions
Explanation
Rhodie says he was asked to give up his membership in the American Railway Union, which he viewed as giving up his rights and principles. Pullman workers who wanted to return to their jobs were pressured to resign from Debs’s union. This refers to the rehiring of workers who resigned from the union, not Debs’s imprisonment or the company’s financial losses.
