6. Homestead Strike

7. Homestead Steel Works during the “Battle of Homestead”

8. "At 12 o'clock last night every department of the immense Carnegie steel works at Homestead was shut down, throwing about 3,800 men out of employment...It has been the custom of the Carnegies, and all other mills, to discharge their men on the night of the expiration of the yearly contract. The men had declared positively that they would strike at the date of the expiration of the yearly contract. This term of expiration was to occur either at 6 o'clock this morning, or at 6 o'clock this evening, just as the authorities decided. At midnight, the firm cleverly forestalled the men, and flatly declared a shut-down. Instead of being a strike then at the great steel works, the action of the firm has made it a lock-out."
-- The Pittsburgh Post, 30 June 1892

9. --Frederic Remington, sketch of the Homestead strike, from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, 14 July Remington depicted strikers as dangerous rioters, opposing the forces of order and good governmentt

10. Sing ho, for we know you, Carnegie;
God help us and save us, we know you too well;
You're crushing our wives and you're starving our babies;
In our homes you have driven the shadow of hell.
Then bow, bow down to Carnegie,
Ye men who are slaves to his veriest whim;
If he lowers your wages cheer, vassals, then cheer. Ye
Are nothing but chattels and slaves under him.
- 2nd verse, "A Man Named Carnegie," anonymous, California, 7 July 1892

11. Telegram, 1892
“All anxiety gone since you stand firm. Never employ one of those rioters. Let grass grow over the works. Must not fail now.” - Andrew Carnegie to Henry Clay Frick
