Answer 1

Answer: A) Usually supported the owners.

Explanation: In serious labour disputes which arose before 1900, the U.S. government usually supported the owners as it was the time of commercial revolutions and businesses were on the verge of closing down.

As factories were designed there was a need of staff and labour to keep the work in progress. Even in the low wages, the staff had to work and hence the owners were supported.
