Explanation:

During the industrial - era attempts to prevent union formation, factory owners often employed multiple anti - union tactics. Hiring workers who promised not to join a union was a common strategy as it aimed to prevent unionization at the source by ensuring that the workforce was not sympathetic to union causes. Paying off union leaders (while it could happen) was not as widespread as hiring non - union - inclined workers. Having union leaders arrested without cause was more of a response to existing union activity rather than a preventive measure. Using force to end union activities was also a reaction to unionization that had already started.

Answer:

They only hired workers who promised they would not join a union.
