End of the Homestead Strike in Homestead Pa
A fractured report describes the end of the Homestead strike after five months of lockout. The November meeting at the rink, chaired by the strike advisory board, saw Amalgamated Association officers present as the steel works were reopened to union members. Anxious charges and countercharges followed amid fears of conflict as workers voiced opinions about leaders. Superintendent Wood notes fewer than 800 of the 3,800 locked out before June 25 will gain employment.
