Happy Birthday!

Andrew Carnegie
(Who established nearly every library in the US & many in scotland with his blood money)

was born 11/25/1835
(d.1919)

          Now the troubles down at Homestead
                  were brought about this way
          When a grasping corporation
                  had the audacity to say:
          "You must all renounce your union
                  and forswear your liberty,
          And we'll give you a chance to live
                  and die in slavery."
  
                   Homestead Strike; Pete Seeger, Carry It On,

Re: Homestead Strike of 1892; Carnegie Steel locked out 3,800 Amalgamated Assn Iron & Steel workers and finally hired 300 Pinkertons with guns, dynamite and cannon to break the strike. Tally was 10 dead, over 60 wounded. (The workers killed 7 scabs.)
