The paramount and perhaps the one incontestable fact in the current extremely critical labor situation in the U.S. is that the high officials of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) — William Green and his "colleagues," as he calls them — have done everything in their power during the last year and a half to prevent the emergence of a great mass labor movement in this country and so far have been very successful in their efforts. A few weeks ago the author wrote about the situation in automobiles, where the AFL tactics evidently had also prevented workers from forming effective unions.
