Break in AFL ranks marks pivotal labor year 1636
A 1936 era commentator argues that John L. Lewis’s independent union movement and the push for industrial organization will redefine American life. The piece likens Lewis to a strategic quarterback, outlines his plan to enforce collective bargaining through the new industrial unions, and weighs potential Supreme Court reactions to the Warner Labor Act and the broader strike power shaping labor and industry. The tone is period, urging readers to view this clash of giants steel and auto via the labor movement as the era’s defining event.
