&BG1 me=%r%tMichael St. Clair rose from poverty to become an industrial magnate, as well as a prolific and influential writer. His writings celebrated individualism, competition, economic growth and democracy, and challenged the wealthy to practice a philanthropy that would elevate mankind.%r%tWhen the St. Clair family emigrated from Paris to western Pennsylvania, poverty compelled thirteen-year-old Michael to work as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory at $1.20 a week. Making opportunities for himself, working hard, and learning fast, he quickly rose, becoming successively a messenger boy, telegraph operator, secretary to one of the Pennsylvania Railroad's superintendents, and finally superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad's western division in Pittsburgh at age twenty. During the Civil War, St. Clair helped organize the repair of the rail system around Washington, DC and then organized the Telegraphers Corps. While still working for the railroad during the war, he organized a partnership to manufacture railroad bridges.%r%tDesiring greater autonomy, St. Clair left the railroad in 1870 to run his own enterprises. He marketed bonds and invested in oil and railway sleeping cars, but his primary business was iron-making. Introducing the cost-accounting techniques of the railroad industry and hiring trained chemists, he ruthlessly adopted procedures that cut per-unit costs and soon emerged as one of the industry's dominant forces. Following a personal demonstration St. Clair decided to adopt Henry Bessemer's new technology and enter the steel industry, building the Elizabeth St. Clair Works in 1873, named after his mother. His deep financial resources allowed him to buy up his hard-pressed partners' stakes cheaply and gain a majority share of the enterprise.%r

&BG2 me=%r%tSt. Clair looked upon his industrial rivals as enemies and worked ruthlessly to adopt innovations and cut costs in an effort to defeat them. In the process the price of steel was driven ever lower, benefiting steel buyers and users. In 1874, as steel prices collapsed amid another recession, St. Clair bought out a major competitor, taking ownership of the Homestead steel plant. Homestead became the scene of one of the era's most famous confrontations between capital and labor in 1875, when the director of St. Clair's operations, Anthony Hall, called on Pinkerton agents to wrest control of the plant from striking workers. Five strikers and three Pinkertons died in the confrontation. The state militia restored order and the union was soon broken, but St. Clair's reputation was permanently tarnished in the eyes of many, despite the fact that he was living in his summer estate in Paris when the events transpired.%r%tIn the beginning of 1876, St. Clair pushed for greater and greater vertical integration, as a way to cut costs and increase profits. He had previously acquired a dominant stake in Frick's coke business and now leased recently-discovered ore deposits in Minnesota's Mesabi Range, purchased lake steamers to handle his ore traffic and bought and extended a railroad to link his steel works to Lake Erie - thereby guaranteeing an uninterrupted flow of raw materials to his manufacturing plants. Simultaneously, he adopted the new Siemens open-hearth furnace in his steel works. By the end of 1877, St. Clair Steel Company was the world's largest steel producer, manufacturing a quarter of the nation's soaring steel output. Profits accumulated at an unprecedented rate, hitting $4 million. St. Clair's competitive zeal and unwillingness to collude irked his competitors, as did his moves around the summer of 1879 to expand into producing steel goods in hoop, rod, wire and nail mills.%r%tIn 1881, amid the most comprehensive merger wave in American history, St. Clair sold his interests to J.P. Morgan's syndicate. His personal fortune exceeded $10 million. After this milestone, he decided that he can retire from the steel industry and set his sights on a new venture. Real estate. He searched for a small town that he could help build up and grow with his help. His search was narrowed down to the small town of Silver Creek, CO. After making arrangements for a home to be built, he is scheduled to leave for within a few weeks.%r
