Answer:
The correct answer to this question is the loss of money by the Pullman Company.
Explanation:
Given - Theodore Rhodie, a former Pullman employee.
To Find - Write which result of the Pullman strike is Theodore Rhodie referring to.
The loss of money by the Pullman Company is the result of the Pullman strike as Theodore Rhodie refers.
It cost the Pullman Company more money to fight the strike than it would have if it had given in to the employees' demands. The General Managers Association (GMA), a group that acted as the representative of Chicago's railroad companies, turned to the federal government for assistance in putting an end to the Pullman strike because it had effectively halted rail traffic and commerce in 27 states spanning from Chicago to the West Coast.
