Workers leave the Pullman Palace Car Works, 1893

Workers leave the Pullman Palace Car Works, 1893. This picture appeared in a promotional booklet celebrating the paternalistic labor policies of George Pullman. A year later Pullman's workers were at the center of a national strike of rail workers that failed after federal troops intervened.

The image is from the Newberry Library's “Frontier to Heartland” Project and in the book "The Story of Pullman, 1893."
