Question

I owned and mechanized steel. when workers began to strike, I hired replacement workers who would accept lower wages. I won the conflict at the homestead steel mill, but my reputation was hurt by my actions. Who am I?

a. John Spargo
b. Andrew Carnegie
c. Samuel Gompers
d. Jacob Riis

Answer 1

The answer is B. Andrew Carnegie

Answer 2

I think the answer is Andrew Carnegie. He did not allow an increase in salary despite the more than a half increase in sales and profit that the Homestead received.

The workers did not accept the decision and made a lockout strike. Carnegie won the case but left a bloody marked in history. The strike ended for more than a hundred days.
