Answer 14

I'd probably pick the last answer, to guard against the possibility of strikes that would slow wartime production.

Worker's rights were still pretty abysmal during the early 20th century. Though it was considered a patriotic duty to do their best to keep the war factories moving, the workers were also smart enough to know that they could also leverage this into negotiating for better treatment -- rights that they hoped would pave the way for better rights in the future.

Answer 21

The day after a gun battle broke out during the Homestead Strike, Andrew Carnegie wrote this message in response to a cable from Henry Clay Frick:

"Cable received. All anxiety gone since you stand firm. Never employ one of these rioters. Let grass grow over works. Must not fail now."

Source: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carnegie/sfeature/mh_letters.html

How might the results of the conflict have been different if Henry Clay Frick had not followed Carnegie's instructions?

The strikers might have achieved their goal of not taking a pay cut, and the union power would have been strengthened.

The strikebreakers might have rejoined the strike, and the steel mill would have been forced to give into the demands of the strikers.

The strikers might have kept the strikebreakers from crossing the picket lines, and there would have been fewer strikes.

The strikebreakers might have prevented the machines in the mill from working, and it would have shut down
