I would expect the Smithsonian to have a better grasp of history. The Pullman Strike was far, far larger.
By this article on Blair Mountain, 10,000 miners marched, and 16 died.
According to [1], in the Pullman Strike, about 70 were killed nationwide, 250,000 workers in 27 states were involved, and the President called out the Army.
Personal disclosure: I grew up about 2 miles from Pullman, not that that gives me any special insight.
