“In contract talks in 1892, Henry Clay Frick, the superintendent of the Carnegie Steel Company, proposed to cut workers' wages, arguing that increased efficiency had inflated salaries.” (Homestead)

Andrew Carnegie’s workers at the Homestead Works steel mill went on strike due to a lack of negotiations over a decision to reduce the wages of workers, which were already incredibly low. In response, Carnegie called the National Guard to end resistance, displaying an excessive show of force toward the workers. In a way, Carnegie demanded obedience from his workers or they would receive harmful punishment (besides all workers later receiving extended work hours and other consequences in the workplace after this event).

In Homestead Strike Background, it is said that a strike had occurred due to the cutting of wages because increased efficiency had inflated salaries. Unskilled workers had made less than $1.70 in a 12 hour day while skilled workers earned $4 to
$7.60 a day. The strike led to a change of an eight hour shift to twelve as punishment.
