C. won the day about half the time.

Explanation:

Hello!

In that period of time, workers of the United States of America made numerous strikes to request an 8-hour workday. The request was based on the fact that they normally worked 14 or 18 hours each day.

For this reason, on May 1, 1886, a strike began in the city of Chicago, where the employment situation was markedly bad. The strike ended on May 4, with the event known as Haymarket revolt.

The events that followed after that managed to establish the 8-hour workday in most countries of the world.
