what prediction did eugene v debs make about the pullman strike?

the switchmen will refuse to add or remove pullman cars from trains.

that switchmen would be fired and replaced with non - union workers.

that american railway union members will join the pullman strikers.

once the switchmen refused to add or remove the pullman cars from trains, they would be fired and replaced by non - union workers, leading to more union members walking out, leading to wider disruptions.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall Eugene V. Debs' prediction during the Pullman Strike. His prediction involved a chain reaction: switchmen refusing to handle Pullman cars, then being fired and replaced by non - union workers, which would cause more union members to strike, leading to wider disruptions. The other options either miss parts of this chain or are incorrect. The first option only mentions the switchmen's refusal. The second option only mentions the firing of switchmen. The third option is incorrect as the prediction was about the chain reaction, not just union members joining.

Answer:

D. Once the switchmen refused to add or remove the Pullman cars from trains, they would be fired and replaced by non - union workers, leading to more union members walking out, leading to wider disruptions.
