During the Homestead Strike of 1892, anarchist Alexander Berkman attempted to assassinate industrialist Henry Frick. Berkman believed that by killing Frick, he could inspire workers to rise up against oppressive labor conditions. He shot Frick multiple times and then stabbed him, but Frick survived the attack, and Berkman was subsequently arrested and imprisoned. This incident highlighted the intense class struggles and violence associated with labor disputes during that era.
