War on Labor Now Under Way in Uprising of Employers
Washington dispatch reports a major shift in industrial history as employers unite under the National Association of Manufacturers to fund a three year campaign of roughly $1.5 million aimed at crippling unionism. Leaders Van Cleave and Samuel Gompers clash over constitutional tests of boycott and union rights, with litigation to challenge the legality of unions under Sherman anti trust law. Gompers vows to fight any legal moves, while Van Cleave argues for organizing manufacturers to counter industrial oppression. The plan includes lobbying before Congress and state legislatures, with funds labeled for educational purposes. The article frames an anticipated three year struggle likely to double union strength rather than diminish it.

Labor clashes over union recognition and growing employer groups
The article notes that strikes aimed at union recognition were under 9 percent of all strikes from 1881 to 1885 and never hit 20 percent in any year before 1896. By 1901 to 1905 they exceeded one third. Employers warn of consequences like closed shops and boycotts, while groups such as the National Founders’ Association and Citizens’ Industrial Alliance mobilize against labor demands. It contrasts this with the A F of L boasting 2.8 million workers and a war chest that could swell via assessments, framing a million vs millions battle between unions and employers.
