The correct answer is B) the cut in wages for steelworkers.
The factor that contributed to the Homestead Strike (1892) was the cut in wages for steelworkers.
The Homestead Steel Strike started on July 1, 1892, and ended on July 6, 1892, with a confrontation of workers and security men. The company was the Homestead Steel Works in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers confronted the Carnegie Steel company. The Union was one of the most powerful at that time. What Carnegie wanted was to break the powerful Union.
