Still working hard in his seventies, Samuel Gompers gave no thought
to retiring. But he faced a world of challenges in his final years
as president of the American Federation of Labor. Ascendant
Republicans were hostile. Conflicts over tactics and strategies
divided the labour movement. And continuing unemployment kept the
workforce in check. Despite all this, Gompers kept the faith,
helping revitalize the AFL's nonpartisan political efforts,
launching a campaign to organize women workers, and strengthening
the Pan-American Federation of Labor. At the same time, he
challenged government agencies like the Railroad Labor Board and
continued his efforts to abolish child labor and fight labour
injunctions. Although historians often assess these years as the
most conservative and least productive period of Gompers's life,
this final volume of the Samuel Gompers Papers demonstrates that
even in this tumultuous time he continued his forward-looking
leadership of the labor movement and retained his keen sense of
judgment.
