In a stunning turn of events, President Warren Harding has brokered a tentative peace between warring railroad unions and employers in Washington, D.C. on July 31, 1922. After months of bitter strikes, the White House announced that Harding would propose a compromise that has already been agreed upon by both factions, virtually assuring peace on the rails within a few days. This unprecedented agreement marks a rare moment of normalcy in a year marred by labor strife and economic uncertainty.
