AFL Upholds Douglas Shoe Company in Stamp Dispute
In a December 1908 letter from James Duncan of the American Federation of Labor to Boot and Shoe Workers Union President John Tobin, the AFL reaffirms support for W. L. Douglas Shoe Company Brockton, urging renewed use of the union stamp and criticizing the union’s withdrawal of its stamp. Duncan notes the firm’s high wages and union shop status, urges amicable adjustment, and offers AFL mediation to restore stamp relations. He cites comparisons with Hamilton-Brown and emphasizes public interest in union-made footwear.
