The federal government supported the interests of big businesses over the interests of labor unions.
Unions became popular during the Gilded Age in the US during an industrial boom. The government supported the owners of business during this period and practiced free market capitalism.
During the Gilded Age, the government took a policy of free-market or laissez-faire capitalism. This means the government did not interfere or create regulation of the economic system.

All of these demands went against the thinking of the time and would have cost the government money and the favor of the powerful in the country.
