Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, led a mass meeting of about five thousand in Cleveland urging public school teachers to resist the Board of Education which had ruled to expel teachers who join a union. The movement would go state wide, with a resolution backing that aim. Gompers railed at the board, calling the expulsion threat inhuman and un-American.
