1893 CE
Eugene V. Debs, having risen to the position of national officer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and editor of its magazine, has rebuilt the organization and helped organize other railroad brotherhoods.
An Indiana native, Debs, at twenty, had helped to form a local of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in 1875.
After failing to unify these brotherhoods, Debs establishes the industrial American Railway Union in 1893.
It will soon become the nation's largest union.
