The Homestead Strike was when, in 1892, Andrew Carnegie reduced wages at his steel mills in Homestead, Pennsylvania and the union workers refused to accept the cut.
The company locked out the union workers and hired nonunion labor and 300 armed guards. The locked out workers gathered weapons and , on July 6, a battle broke out killing ten people. After that, the state militia began to escort the nonunion workers to the mills and after four months, the strike collapsed, breaking.
Hope I helped!
