Gompers May Go Abroad to Unite Labor
At the AFL convention in St Paul a mission urged sending Samuel Gompers to Europe to form a purely industrial international labor federation. The aim is to counter Socialist-led cross-border influence and resist any German allied labor talks while the war continues. The report, read by secretary John P. Frey, argues for direct AFL representation in Europe and a separate, non political labor international. The plan faces mixed reception among delegates and Socialist opponents.
