I think the answer is Andrew Carnegie. He did not allow an increase in salary despite the more than a half increase in sales and profit that the Homestead received.

The workers did not accept the decision and made a lockout strike. Carnegie won the case but left a bloody marked in history. The strike ended for more than a hundred days.
