During the later part of the 1800s, cities and government were run by political machines (bosses). These people used

bribes and corruption to run the cities. In addition, there were also many scandals and bad business in the government.

Many critics of the corruption called for reform measures. In the 1883, President Arthur signed into law the Pendleton Civil

Service Act which called for merit to gain jobs.

As conditions worsened in the factories owned by big business leaders, workers began to demand changes. They knew

they could not do it alone, so national unions were formed like the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor

unions.

As union¡¯s gained membership, many labor disputes occurred between the unions and factory owners. Some important

ones were the Haymarket Riots, Homestead Strike, and the Pullman Strike.

Farmers also began to organize themselves with the National Grange and through politics by forming the Populist Party.
