Face to Face Labor Conflict Across America
Editors in conservative and radical camps see labor and capital at an irreconcilable divide. They cite the failed Washington industry conference the coal miners strike and unauthorized New York strikes plus the steel fight won by United States Steel. Gompers calls a national labor council to address slave dangers threatening labor’s base. The American Coal Miner editor hopes industry will be cleansed by conflict and warns scars may guide the future. The Literary Digest November 8th outlines broad public opinion on labor unrest.
