Question

the image shows of the great railway strike of 1877. what does the activity in the picture reveal about the attitude of railroad owners of the time? they were willing to bargain collectively with the railway unions. they usually settled strikes in the late 1800s peacefully. they were willing to call out troops to force the striking workers back to work. they were worried that the public might oppose their methods.

Explanation:

During the late 19th - century labor disputes, railroad owners often used force. The image likely shows a violent scene (common in strike - breaking efforts). Railroad owners were not known for collective bargaining (unions faced hostility). Strikes were often settled violently, not peacefully. There's no indication of public - opposition worry in such force - using actions. Calling out troops (as a form of force) aligns with historical anti - labor actions of railroad owners.

Answer:

They were willing to call out troops to force the striking workers back to work.
