The 19th-century workers 'movement was more than just a "strike", because the relevant laws were incomplete and workers' labor status was hardly guaranteed. Taking the mines in the Great Lakes region as an example, mine owners can arbitrarily demand workers to work overtime, and Instead of paying any overtime pay, in order to save costs as much as possible, the owner of the mine is eager to invest any penny in ensuring the safety of workers. If an accident occurs, regardless of the cause of the worker's death, the worker's family can get it, only then A little bit of poor pensions, the amount of pensions, is basically about the same as a worker's monthly salary.

For these reasons, mine owners tend to stock up certain armed forces to squeeze workers' labor and maintain a "normal" working order. Once the workers are intolerable, they will often choose extreme methods to safeguard their rights and interests. This is how this riot occurred of.

So it is conceivable that when the Steed Group added a few humanized systems when managing workers, how much impact did this era have? Although Andrew Carnegie's requirements may seem a bit excessive, it is not entirely impossible. After all, compared to those Mexicans and Irish, the management of Chinese workers is much easier.

However, it is not so easy to resume work. On the night of Andrew Carnegie's purchase of the fifth mine, the Allegheny Iron Mine accident happened again. A group of thugs took advantage of the night to pry open the Allegheny Iron Mine. The door opened the room where the explosives were stored, and carried out a second blast on the mine that had been blown up. This time the damage was very thorough. The entire mine was blown up. Four Andrew Carnegie sent to Alle All the temporary workers at the Genny Iron Mine were killed. The methods adopted by the mobs were extremely bloody. Like Neil Gay's death method, the temporary workers were stuffed into the mines, and then the mobs blew up the mines. Those poor The staff were buried alive.

If Neil Guy's death is to blame, then the death of the four temporary staffers is not justified. They were formerly managers of Carnegie-Rim Steel and have not even been to Newcastle before, so There is no such thing as "revenge", it may only be intentional.

The day after the accident, Andrew Carnegie immediately went to Cleveland, Ohio, and found his old friend Ignac.

"My friend, do you have anything to say to me?" Andrew Carnegie has been to Ignaz's house many times, and most of the time he is in a bad mood. Only this time, Andrew Carnegie There was almost no anger, probably the sorrow was greater than the death of the heart, reaching a state of no joy and no sorrow.

"I have already said what you should say. If you have opinions on the price of ore, then we can sit down and talk about it. If you must enter the mining field, you will face the common interests of all members of the Great Lakes Mining Federation. Resist, you should know that most of the mine owners are rough people, their tempers are very irritable, and we will not be in the high society. "Ignaz's emotions are still excited, and his hostility between words is obvious. However, this does not mean that Ignaz is related to the violence at the Allegheny Iron Mine.

Cleveland is a standard immigration city. Coal and iron made Cleveland's status in the United States. During the Civil War, Cleveland developed very quickly. According to statistics, there are about 36 languages here, so for communication, this is simply a disaster. Cleveland The status of Americans does not match the strength of the city, and I do not know why. All Americans mention the city of "Cleveland", and most of them are negative. This is the same as a large central province in the 21st century. almost.

"Don't emphasize to me, my friend, I already reminded you, but unfortunately, you don't seem to be sure of the reminder." Andrew Carnegie is not prepared to make nonsense, it seems that Ignaz does not intend to Admit it, but what does it matter, Andrew Carnegie is ready to face any hardships and hardships, and this twist is trivial.

"What are you talking about?" Ignaz was still stupid.

"Listen to my friend, maybe this is the last time I call you that. Someone broke into the Allegheny Iron Mine last night, not only killed the temporary caretaker, but also carried out a second destruction. I don't care whether this is with you or not. It doesn't matter— "Andrew Carnegie used a firm gesture to stop Ignaz who wanted to speak, so he said fiercely:" ——I took this as an accident, you heard me right, this is the last time If, next time, I do n't mind using the same method on some people, I would like to remind you that the high society in your eyes is not just gentle and gentle, when a gentleman encounters provocation, he will also become Warrior, and he has no less courage than you muddy legs. "

Andrew Carnegie is not a very good person, or in other words, it is not easy to get people to invest in the land this year. There is no good stubble. If you follow normal business channels, Andrew Carnegie is confident to face any challenge. Outside the market, Andrew Carnegie has also made psychological preparations.

"What you're talking about, I don't understand--" Ignaz probably didn't expect Andrew Carnegie, who was always so polite, so hesitated for a minute, Ignaz justified Ai Ai's justification .

At this time and also at the same time, when Andrew Carnegie came to Ignaz every time, it was to keep the price of ore rising. At that time, the knife was artificially stabbed me as fish. The meat had to bow down on the sticky plate. It is already necessary to meet the soldiers close to each other, and it is no longer necessary to maintain the demeanor of those who are fake. It is still time to be tough.

"You know, I know you will have a meeting after I leave, to discuss how to deal with our Pittsburgh Steel Company, and I recommend that you first understand the shareholders of our Pittsburgh Steel Company, they are not lambs to be slaughtered by anyone. What I want to remind you is that in our Pittsburgh Steel Company, the lives of workers are very valuable. I know that when you died, a worker sometimes only paid tens of dollars, but in our Pittsburgh Steel Company, life cannot be measured by money. So, the work of the four staff members is not over yet, and we will see the next few days. "Andrew Carnegie said goodbye when he had finished speaking, and after talking about it, let 's show miracles.

Looking at Andrew Carnegie's back, Ignaz raised his hand but did not open his mouth to retain Andrew Carnegie. Now it is useless to say anything. Since this step is chosen, it can only be countered to the end. Now The hatred is already in place, and it is still deadly.

That night, the Army 's First Cavalry Division, which was insurgent in Pennsylvania, excused the situation once again, declaring that Pennsylvania was in a state of emergency. This time, instead of dealing with the already miserable workers, the cavalry set their sights on it. The object of their protection-those mine owners who pamper themselves.

In just one night, more than 20 iron ore mine owners were invited to military barracks for military investigation. The investigation direction was whether there was any violation of "humanitarianism" in the previous production management.

There is almost no need to check this issue. In the era when the Labor Law did not provide workers with labor protection, they could be paid wages on time without conscientiousness. As for "humanitarianism", there was no such statement before. All One of the mine owners counts one, and as long as no serious investigation is done, the workers will not choose the extreme method of riots to fight for their own benefits.

It is said that on this issue, people in the East and the West are the same. As long as they can still eat and eat, as long as they can survive, few people are willing to take risks.

In the era when the law was not perfect, workers could not be effectively protected. In fact, the mine owners were the same. Although outsiders did not know what happened to the mine owners who were arrested in the barracks, one thing is certain, those cavalry Did n't they have any abuses with the survey workers at Yanyue. The cavalry is best not to show off their tongues, but to speak with the whip in their hands, so you can imagine that those mine owners must be uncomfortable now.

The action of the military was unexpected. In a country where the capital is supreme, the capitalist is the master of the country. Now the master of the country is captured by the servants of those masters into the barracks. There was a public outcry, and even Pennsylvania Governor Joseph Cromwell Visit Will on his own initiative and try to inquire some information from Will.

Unfortunately, in Will's office, Joseph Cromwell saw not only Will, but also John Rockefeller, who visited Will temporarily.

Oh oh, Pennsylvania is Rockefeller 's nest. Standard Oil 's headquarters is in Pennsylvania. The New York is strictly speaking Rockefeller 's office, so Joseph Cromwell is an old Rockefeller acquaintance. If there is no Rockefeller, The support of Joseph Cromwell was not even the governor of Pennsylvania. The relationship between them is probably similar to that between Li Mu and Arthur.

It was easy to do. Before Joseph Cromwell had asked why Will took the mine owners into the barracks, Rockefeller took the lead, first expressed concern about the Allegheny Iron Mine, and then showed his Pittsburgh. Shareholder status of the steel company.

Joseph Cromwell almost forgot his intentions and immediately promised Rockefeller that he would thoroughly investigate the Allegheny iron ore incident and said that he would send state police to protect the Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company's mines. As for the four former Workers of the Pittsburgh Steel Company that were accidentally killed in a few days, Joseph Cromwell said he would take a special fund from the state treasury for the care of the four workers who died.

With the cooperation of the Pennsylvania State Police, the Allegheny Iron Mine incident was soon made known to the world. The main actor behind the incident was Steve Jerome, Secretary General of the Great Lakes Mining Federation. He and three The irritable mine owner said that he wanted to give some people who didn't know how to look good, so he hired a group of homeless people to attack the Allegheny iron mine.

After that, the military and state police joined forces to find the homeless men in a wooden house outside Newcastle. After a brief exchange of fire, the police and the military jointly killed more than 20 homeless men. Two heroic state police were in action. More than a dozen military police were injured in the attack. The police then interrogated the surviving tramp. After receiving a short and effective confession, all three surviving tramp were left dead.

Seems a bit ridiculous?

But this was written in the investigation report of the State Police and the First Cavalry Division. It is strange that no one has questioned it, including Ignaz, the president of the Great Lakes Mining Federation, who defaulted on this result. To this end, the Great Lakes Mining Federation had to pay Pittsburgh Steel Company $ 200,000 as compensation for the four workers who died at the Allegheny Iron Mine.

The next thing is logical. After the military and police provided protection for the Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company at the same time, even if the response was slow, Ignaz had already understood that these land snakes had met Jiang Jiang completely this time. Customers are bullying the shop. Although the Great Lakes Mining Association is also a big cause, the mine owners are helpless in the face of the comet-like rise of the Pittsburgh Steel Company. Their usually seemingly effective methods are used in Pittsburgh Steel The company will not have any effect at all. If the method is too shady, it will even produce a "damage rebound" effect, which makes the mine owners have to find another way to deal with Pittsburgh Steel Company in a conventional way.

But the negative moves have no effect, will it be effective to use conventional methods?

The answer is no. Pittsburgh Steel Company has a wealth of money. In the face of green dollars, mine owners who have seen the Pittsburgh Steel Company's Thunder means have little choice. On the one hand, it is easy to spend money and on the other hand, it is far from over Seeing no hopeful strikes at all, making choices doesn't seem to be as difficult as imagined.

In just one month, Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company has successively shot in the Great Lakes region and purchased more than 30 mines. Some of the mines have fallen because they may be shut down in the future due to their small scale. All iron ore mines are under the control of Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company. In May, several iron ore mines including Allegheny Iron Mine were resumed one after another. After being guaranteed by Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company, the workers who went on strike also continued. Returning to the mine, compared with those former mine owners, Pittsburgh Steel's management system is much more humane. Workers can not only get some labor protection, but also enjoy vacations and overtime pay that they have never had before.

The future suddenly became better.
