Samuel Gompers A Life of Labor Leader and Reform Advocate
Samuel Gompers (1850 1924) rose from London to New York to lead the cigar makers union. He rebuilt the union into a model group and helped form the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions in 1881, which became the American Federation of Labor.
