What was Henry Frick's strategy to break the steelworkers' union at the Homestead steel plant?

Henry Frick's strategy to break the steelworkers' union at the Homestead steel plant involved a combination of aggressive tactics, including locking out workers and hiring armed Pinkerton agents to confront union members. He aimed to undermine the union's power by refusing to negotiate and implementing wage cuts, which sparked violent confrontations. Frick also sought to rally public support against the union by framing the conflict as a battle between Law and Order versus labor unrest.
