We will never know what would have happened, but I think it's interesting to speculate how different the early labor movement might have been had the government not aided in suppression of trade unions. There is no doubt that after the laws were changed, unions became powerful forces in this country. Similarly, it's interesting to speculate how different race relations might have been had the government not legalized Jim Crow segregation. After Jim Crow was outlawed by the Supreme Court, race relations did ameliorate. You point to a power vacuum, but the facts are otherwise. The repressive status quo was perpetuated by government.
