John S Lewis challenges Gompers for AFL presidency
John S Lewis president of the United Mine Workers announced his candidacy for the AFL presidency. He pledged to present votes pledged to secure victory, while Samuel Gompers resisted the challenge saying his name would go before the convention. A $100000 campaign fund charge sparked calls for investigation by John Leheney, but adjournment prevented action. The AFL also condemned the Shipping Board for anti union stance and urged housing, civil service reform, and equal rights in unions.
