Description
(Original Caption) 4/1922- The American Federation of Labor, originally an insurgent organization and the American Labor movement itself, are monuments to the genius and moral stamina of the late Samuel Gompers. During his lifetime, however he met the same bitter opposition that now confronts John L. Lewis, then President of United Mine Workers, now head of the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Because he considered the A.F. of L. hierarchy decadent and dilatory, Lewis withdrew and set up the C.I.O., with the United Mine Workers as it nucleus.
