Best Answer

Frick was the chairman of Carnegie's steel company. Throughout his life, Frick was known to be a ruthless, cutthroat business man who would not negotiate with unions, who strove to maximize profits at the expense of his workers. In a sense he was a robber baron. During a strike at one of the companies largest steel plants, Frick brought in a team of mercenaries and killed nine workers. For these reasons, Frick was known as America's most hated man at the time, and was even attempted in assassination by the anarchists at one time after the strike.
