Samuel GompeFS uss SAMUEL GOMPERS lAD- an is the first us. snip namedyfq a great American who devoted his life to the labor movement and American ideals. A I Samuel Gompers was born in London in 1850 and was EIDDVGU' ticed to a cigar maker in 1863. The following year, at the age of 1.4, Gompers became associated with the labor movement. He helped .or- ganize and became president of the Cigar makers international Union. which became a model for other unions to follow. In 1881, Gompers Served as chairman of an organization that evolved into the Federation.of Or- ganized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada. lt was reorganized and renamed the American Federation of Labor QAFLJ in 1886. Gompers was elected presi- dent of the AFL and served in that capacity for more than four decades as the official head of the American labor movement. Before the AFL was founded, the labor movement was in the hands of small, individual unions throughout the country, all working without much cooperation. Upon formation of the federation, Gom- pers took the helm as its president and he welded the labor movement into a compact unit that became a power in the political, commercial and industrial life of the United States. Gompers believed in the ideals of America and taught patriotism to all his followers. He kept labor on a conservative footing and free frgm radicalism. A fearless exponent of right and a great humanitarian, he was also a great fighter. He fought J i for peace in industry and setting an example for others to follow. .His work for nearly half a century was dedicated to advance the lot of men and women for labor. His firm con- viction that labor could never dis- place management of industry made it possible for him to enter into suc- cessful negotiations with industry. D Samuel Gompers' life was a tribute to the contribution that for- eign-born Americans have made to 95 A V 14 ,,,,. f , Arte, i y 1 M- ' ' C if cgi. , t fly, , .V v...v. . L .' ' tiff! lf Ua- 1.
