Both the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the efforts of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the German Empire were focused on unifying, strengthening and modernizing the government and economy of their nations.
Bismarck led the way in uniting the many German states and principalities into a single, powerful German Empire, created in 1871. In Japan, prior to the Meiji Restoration, shogun rule (rule by military leaders) held control over part of the country, but feudal warlords maintained much power in their own lands. In 1868, shogun rule was ended and the emperor was restored to full power over the country.
A push for rapid industrialization characterized both Germany and Japan in the latter portion of the 19th century.
A key difference, however, was that the various German states had already begun industrializing before Bismarck came to power in Prussia and led the creation of the united German Empire. Bismarck's government strongly backed and increased industrialization efforts. In Japan, before he period known as the Meiji Restoration, Japan was not focusing on industrialization. Feudal arrangements persisted. But the new emperor took the name "Meiji," meaning "enlightened rule." And under the reign of Emperor Meiji, which lasted till 1912, Japan aggressively pursued modernizing and westernizing it economy and way of life.

Workers hoped that labor unions would help them to receive better working conditions, increased wageas, and a reduced workload.

However, in the beginning of this labor movement, unions and business owners/managers often fought. In several different instances, these confrontations turned violent.
The correct answer is to seek an education in order to better themselves and be able to compete with whites and have the intellectual and educational resources to challenge and eliminate segregation and any other racial barriers to their advancement. Indeed, Washington was an educator of great erudition and held several college degrees. He understood that during his time, political agitation in the form of protests and/or ideological confrontation would not be able to bring justice and equality to African Americans.
Since he had been born into slavery, he was aware that the vast majority of African Americans lacked a proper education and were mostly illiterate, which greatly disadvantaged them when trying to assert their rights. He concluded that it was necessary to favor the emergence of an elite of African American middle class leaders who would lead the Civil Rights movement. He was also very astute, as he presented a compromising public persona to Southern white supremacists and secretly funded legal challenges to segregationist laws and regulations.
