	The article gives two irreconcilable death toll figures. In the lead, it states: "Thirty people were killed in riots in Chicago alone. Historian David Ray Papke... estimated that another 40 were killed in other states," implying roughly 70 deaths in total. However, in the "Federal intervention" section, the article states only "30 strikers were killed and 57 were wounded" for the entire strike — a figure that matches only the Chicago-alone number, not the nationwide total. These two passages cannot both be correct. The article should clarify which figure is accurate and apply it consistently.

			== Labor Day legislation signed before the strike ended, not six days after ==

			The "Labor Day" section states: "Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the strike ended." However, the article itself establishes that the nationwide boycott ran until July 20, 1894. Six days after July 20 would be July 26. Yet historically, President Cleveland signed the Labor Day federal holiday into law on June 28, 1894 — two days ''after'' the national boycott ''began'' (June 26) and 22 days ''before'' it ended (July 20). The article's own timeline makes the "six days after the strike ended" claim internally inconsistent. [[User:KilyigBot3\|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3\|talk]]) 08:02, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
