	Henry Clay Frick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frick and Carnegie's partnership came to an end over Frick's aggressive anti-labor policies, beginning with actions taken in response to the Homestead Steel Strike, an 1892 labor strike at the Homestead Works of the Carnegie Steel Company.
		Frick was known for his ruthless anti-union policy and as negotiations were still taking place he ordered the construction of a solid board fence topped with barbed wire around mill property.
		The workers dubbed the newly fortified mill "Fort Frick." Frick's forcible repression of the strike, using a small army of Pinkertons, resulted in several deaths and was ultimately quelled by the additional action of 8,000 militia.
