Book excerpt: Excerpt from Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives, Sixtieth Congress: Argument of Mr. Samuel Gompers Dear Sir: The clerk of your committee this morning informed me that an order was made by the committee that on Monday, February 24, at 10.30 o'clock, time will be given me to address myself to the questions of injunctions and of all labor bills. I stated to him that no one was authorized by the American Federation of Labor or its representatives to make a request for hearings on behalf of labor upon the bill regulating or restricting the issuance of injunctions, but that after I had learned of the order of the committee that Mr. Spelling was to be heard in favor of anti-injunction bills, and "all other labor bills," and that thereafter Mr. Davenport and others would be heard in opposition, I asked for an opportunity to be heard before the committee. I desire to state my position clearly that, in my judgment, the Judiciary Committee in previous Congresses have heard fully arguments on bills restricting the issuance of injunctions, and that these printed arguments are at the disposal of any new member of the Judiciary Committee; that there is therefore no necessity for further arguments upon this subject, pro or con, before the committee, and that hearings for the purpose of argument would tend to prolong the hearings so that the committee will not be in a position to make a report to this session of Congress. In other words, that the opposition to the just bill which labor urges is pursuing the policy of hearings for the purpose of procrastination, to avoid legislative relief. I am free to say that if the committee will consider the question involved upon the hearings and arguments already had, I shall not ask you to be heard on the 24th, or at any other time during this session upon this bill. If, however, hearings and arguments m opposition are to be heard, of course I shall avail myself of the time set by the committee. There are other bills upon other measures of interest to labor, and upon which, if necessary, I would feel it incumbent upon me to submit some views. After the conclusion of the conversation over the telephone with the clerk of your committee, he again called me up, stating that he had conversed with Mr. Littlefield, of your committee, and he suggested that I write the committee upon the situation, and it is for this reason I address this letter to you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With almost forty years' experience as a labor leader by 1909, Samuel Gompers had learned the value of practical achievements. Shorter hours, higher wages, safer and more sanitary workplaces, and a voice in establishing working conditions were the hallmarks of trade unionism in the Progressive Era, and these hard-won, incremental gains had significantly improved working-class lives. While these were not all he hoped to achieve, they represented, Gompers believed, essential victories in a bitter class struggle that was far from over. This installment of the multivolume documentary history of the nation's premier labor leader covers a period marked by industrial tragedies--such as the 1909 Cherry Hill mine disaster and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire--and industrial violence, including the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building. These years were punctuated by hard-fought strikes and judicial proceedings directed against trade unionists, most notably the Danbury Hatters' and Buck's Stove cases and the prosecution of the McNamaras. For Gompers, these were demanding years that taxed his health and energy but ultimately strengthened his resolve as he became a crucial player in the AFL's efforts to establish collective bargaining as the basis of industrial democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 1898-1902 were prosperous for the U.S., marked by economic growth and industrial expansion, a rising material standard of living, and low unemployment. The period was one of unprecedented growth for the American Federation of Labor (AFL), and it found Samuel Gompers continuing to advocate the organization of all workers and focusing his efforts on establishment of local and national trade unions, central labor bodies, and state federations, and on the affiliation of these organizations with the AFL.
