Explanation:

The government nearly always sided with companies against striking workers during 1800 because in that time capitalism was brutal to some extent and government aligned with companies to break strikes and keep workers producing.  

There are two specific cases were this can be noticed:

The Homestead Strike: this strike took place On June 29, 1892, by the 6 of July of the same year Henry Clay Frick, manager of the Homestead Steelworks tried with scabs to finish the strike but it was impossible. Then, the government sent 6,000 state militiamen who reopened the plant and finished the strike. The Pullman Strike: This strike took place from May 11 1894 until July 20 of the same year. The Pullman workers went into strike because of massive layoffs the strike spread to the Railroads workers who blocked the railways with US mail bags. Then the government decided that the obstruction was illegal and dispatched troops to Chicago to free the railways, the strike leaders were imprisoned these government actions lead to finishing the strike.
