Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the US. His election was decided by a Congressional Commission. What would you ask him?

(I'm not an American, but it seems unconstitutional / illegal to me to use the army to end a strike)
"Hayes' most controversial domestic act – apart from ending Reconstruction – came with his response to the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, in which employees of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad walked off the job and were joined across the country by thousands of workers in their own and sympathetic industries. When the labor disputes exploded into riots in several cities, Hayes called in federal troops, who, for the first time in U.S. history, fired on the striking workers, killing more than 70."

Good question, but I would like to point out that this was only 12 years after the end of the Civil War in which over a half million Americans died at the hands of each other. Hayes was an officer in that war and led at least one significant action according to Shelby Foote in, "The Civil War."
