Gompers Replies to Roosevelt Over Injunction Letter
Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, responds to Theodore Roosevelt's letter to Senator Knox on the use of injunctions in labor disputes. He accuses the President of misrepresenting his views, defends labor rights and calls for equal protection under the law, citing prior exchanges and references to court decisions and proposed bills. He argues Roosevelt’s stance betrays a desire to appease business interests and insists labor seeks restoration of the injunction as a shield for personal freedom and property rights.
