Answer: determined by a merit system based on civil service examinations
Explanation:
The <em>Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act </em>of 1883 was signed to overhaul Federal employment methods that favored political affiliation instead of merit.
In the 1870s, federal office holders were engaged in a form of patronage that would see them giving federal jobs to people who funded them or those who supported them politically.
This Act changed all that when it made it unlawful to give people jobs due to their political affiliation but rather on the basis of merit which would be determined by civil service examinations.

<span>The Homestead strike pitted one of the most powerful new corporations, Carnegie Steel Company, against the nation’s strongest trade union, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. An 1889 strike had won the steelworkers a favorable three-year contract; but by 1892 Andrew Carnegie was determined to break the union. His plant manager, Henry Clay Frick, stepped up production demands, and when the union refused to accept the new conditions, Frick began locking the workers out of the plant.</span>
<span>This would be a primary source because it came straight from the source.</span>
