Labor leaders oppose Taft for president
Washington labor leaders led by AFL President Samuel Gompers formally opened a campaign against Secretary Taft as a presidential aspirant. In a five page editorial Gompers calls Taft the injunction standard beater and he cites Taft’s Cincinnati court rulings on boycotts and labor questions in the West. Gompers argues Taft’s stance could legalize court orders to break up lawful labor actions and threaten union agreements. The piece portrays Taft as fearing rather than embracing reform, signaling labor’s intent to oppose his candidacy.
