Socialists Push for Gompers Challenge At AFL Session
Delegates representing the socialist wing of the American Federation of Labor meet in Kansas City in secret talks to nominate a rival to Samuel Gompers. Frank P Gobin declined to have his name placed before the convention as socialists move to press for more recognition and for active anti Gompers action. Gompers backs equal pay for equal work for women and welcomes closer ties with Britain as debates on labor organization and politics unfold.
