The Homestead Strike of 1892 was primarily caused by the management of the Carnegie Steel Company, led by Henry Clay Frick, seeking to cut wages and weaken the power of the union representing the steelworkers. The phrase "Cold Lead!" signified the violent response from both sides, highlighting the intense conflict and the use of armed force to suppress the labor movement at the time.
