Answer:

Steel

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew Carnegie, the king of steel, appointed Henry Clay Frick as president of the steel industry, started preaching a lower price and higher production scales, increased corporate profitability, and disrespected employees, who worked 84 hours a week and had their strikes violently suppressed.
