Going Back to Work at Homestead Mills After Strike
The Amalgamated Association's strike ends with a mass reinstatement drive at the Carnegie Company mill in Homestead. Supervisors, deputy sheriffs, and foremen screen applicants, listing 15 to 200 names on the black book of those refused employment, while many laborers accept lower positions or waitlisted status. Superintendent Schwab greets applicants tactfully as he denies or grants passes, prompting a tense but orderly scene as workers seek reemployment and the town weighs the union’s role and the company’s terms.
