Abstract
When the 1892 Homestead Steel Strike was over, 10 men were dead and dozens more wounded. Agents of the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired by Henry Clay Frick had attempted to land their barges at the Homestead Steel Works along the Monongahela River to protect it from striking workers. More than 160 people were charged with crimes and Frick was the target of an assassination attempt by Alexander Berkman, an anarchist unaffiliated with the initial struggle.
One of those arrested in the wake of the labor dispute was an unlikely man: Pittsburg Baseball Club pitcher Mark Baldwin.
