One of Its Noblest Lone

Samuel Gompers previews an August editorial in the American Federationist on the great strike led by the American Railway Union against Pullman. He calls it a landmark labor struggle that failed to achieve its immediate aim but broadened attention to societal wrongs and highlighted Eugene V. Debs. He notes Debs' honesty and urges workers to seek reinstatement rather than a general tool-down, while urging adherence to laws until reform at the ballot box.
