Answer:

The troops also acted as Pullman Company enforcers and attacked union offices. The people were striking because of 16 hour work days compounded by a wage reduction that made it difficult for them to pay rent for their company housing (there were around 12,000 workers), which the Pullman Company would not reduce.
