No. At some point the management of US Steel reported a 60% rise in profits and then offered the employees a 30% pay rise. The labour unions however demanded a 60% pay rise. Management refused to budge on this (Carnegie at the time was in Scotland and communications and travel were infinitely slower than today) and the riots broke out in which the Pinkerton agents played such an infamous part.
Carnegie himself was a philantropist who spent great amounts of money on all kinds of charities. His Foundation is still very active in this field today.

Why did Andrew Carnegie argue in favor of monopolies?

He was a brilliant buisnessman and without monopoly he would never have reached what he had, eventually owning 90% of the industry its no wonder he suported it, and he was really a complicated man later in his life he laid out great emphasis on civil rights and industry regulations for workers yet the conditions in his steel mill were horrible (i.e. homestead) and he did all he could to maximize out put, though many saw him as a glorified man zesting up American economy he was a very harsh strict man who often acted cruely, that however was able to remain hidden and widely unseen being within the confines of his out mills, (yet later was greatly exposed). The fact that he suported monopoly a now heavily looked down upon institute was one he could not hide nor did he need to at the time major companies like naregie steel and rockefellers standard oil were simply unkown and the dangers of them had not yet been felt.

From the mining of pig iron and other materials, to their refinement, and finally to the sales of his product. This way he would receive maximum profits. He also stressed efficiency, competition amongst workers, and a cheap product. He promote competitiveness among top employees, rewarding winners and firing failures. This is how he maintained employing the best of the beset. He was able to cut the cost of steal from 58 dollars a ton 25 which is why EVERYONE bought from him. It was his skill in mass production that made him so successful. To be honest I stumbled across this question because I'm writing a paper on the same thing. Hope this helps, know there is more behind it though. My professor is asking a more fundamental question. What characteristic traits did he acquire from his parents and others that helped him to accomplish all of this. Tough information to come across easily on the Internet Good luck my friend -M
