1-29-16 President Jackson Set a Precedent in 2:00 (federal troops used to settle a labor dispute)
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/january-29-2016-president-jackson-set-a-precedent/
January 29, 2016
On this day in Labor History the year was 1834. That was the first time in United States history that a President called in federal troops to settle a labor dispute and It would certainly not be the last. President Andrew Jackson ordered federal troops to quiet the workers on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
2:00 minute audio at link.
