You mean the striking workers. That is class war for you. By the way he was rich long before he had the strikers fired upon. To get the workers riled up you first need a factory and a market. The Proles work in the factory and become dissatisified. But first they work. Who provided the jobs, huh? The Proles were just envious that they did not screw their fellows as well as Carnegie. But Carnegie, first and foremost arranged matters that steel was produced cheaper than anyone else could produce it and shipped to market. To redistribute wealth, wealth must first be created and guys like Carnegie did that.
