(A) Magnified into a crime but very little is said on the other side of the question (B)/ the men employed in various capacities by railroads, and (C)/ The commendation of these men takes the form of deeds (D)/ every misdeed is exaggerated, and every indiscretion (E)/ Whenever there is a strike, a great deal is written about.

On carefully reading the fragments we see that the subject of the sentence is the men employed in railroads and the attribution during the strikes. E introduces the subject. Hence, it should be the opening part. B should follow E as it explains about ‘whom’. Fragments D and A form a pair as they mention what usually happens and what is excluded. Hence, EBDA forms a coherent sentence. Sentence C which mentions about the deeds will not fit in this sentence. It can come further in the paragraph.
