Primary record
H. C. Frick; residence, Pittsburg ; chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited.
I then had the preliminary arrangements made for these men with an agent of Mr. Pinkerton, that is to say, an understanding what we were to pay for these men.
We did not care whether they were union or non-union, but we wanted men with whom we could deal individually. We did not propose to deal with the Amalgamated Association after that date as we had plainly told them.

Workmen had been killed at the Carnegie Works, of which I was the controlling owner.
