Answer 1

The Homestead Steel Strike of 1892 was primarily sparked by wage cuts and the management's desire to break the union rather than specifically by layoffs due to lack of profit. The Carnegie Steel Company, led by Henry Clay Frick, announced significant wage cuts for workers at the Homestead plant, which led to a strong backlash from the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers (the union representing the workers).

While financial struggles can impact job security, in this case, the immediate cause of the strike was the management's attempt to reduce labor costs and undermine the union's power, rather than layoffs due to the factory's inability to turn a profit. Therefore, the point about wage cuts would be a key factor, rather than layoffs specifically.

Based on the context of your question regarding the Homestead Steel Strike, the most relevant answer to what led to the strike would be related to wage cuts and management's actions against the union, rather than specifically about layoffs due to profit losses or women's wages.

If the choice provided is "Many workers were laid off due to failure of the factory to make a profit," then that would not accurately represent the main cause of the strike. The key issue was the reduction in wages and the effort by management to weaken the union.
