First Question:
The Great Strike of 1877 involved railroad workers. State governors were encouraged to end the strike, as the federal government's initial response was limited, and state authorities were involved in managing labor unrest. Labor unions were part of the strike, the U.S. president (Rutherford B. Hayes) had a more limited direct role in ending it at first, and industrial tycoons were the employers, not the ones encouraged to end the strike.
The Haymarket Affair occurred in Chicago, not New York City. A bomb was thrown, causing shots to be fired. It started as a peaceful protest for labor rights, and several people were convicted (some executed) as a result. So the false fact is that the event was in New York City.
In the Homestead Strike (against Carnegie Steel), the union (Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers) eventually gave in. The company (Carnegie Steel, led by Frick) and industry held firm, and the government supported the company. So the union was the side that gave in.
