The Paradox of Tom L Johnson The Great American Paradox
Tom L Johnson, a steel rails manufacturer turned reformer, is labeled the Great American Paradox for his shifts between pro business and labor oriented views. A Brooklyner with Ohio residency, he built a rail empire, opposed the Wilson bill yet supported silver, and served in the Fifty second and Fifty third Congresses. Critics cite contradictions between his real estate and trolley holdings and his public labor agitation stance. Friends defend his stance as adaptability to a better society.
