On This Day in Economic History
July
09
1892
On this day in 1892, the state of Pennsylvania sent in 7,000 troops to restore order to riots that were taking place outside of Andrew Carnegie's Homestead steel plant. The labor strike that turned into a bloody riot was centered on receiving better pay and stronger union influence. Andrew Carnegie was conveniently out of the country when this strike happened and left business associate Clay Frick with the task of dealing with it. Frick dealt with the situation by enlisting three hundred Pinkerton Agents to provide security for the non-union workers he hired to keep the plant running. The army of strikers turned violent and a bloody shootout between agents and strikers ensued on July 2, leaving seven agents and nine strikers dead. Frick then called upon the state of Pennsylvania for help. The state responded by sending 7,000 soldiers, which effectively quelled the strike. In November the Union conceded to defeat by calling off the strike; Carnegie responded by firing all the strikers and then blacklisting them.
