Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Debate Between Samuel Gompers And Henry J. Allen At Carnegie Hall, New York (1920)"" is a historical account of a debate that took place between two prominent figures in American labor history. Samuel Gompers, the founder of the American Federation of Labor, and Henry J. Allen, the Governor of Kansas, engaged in a heated debate on the topic of labor unions and their role in society. The debate took place in Carnegie Hall in New York in 1920, and was attended by a large audience of labor activists, politicians, and members of the public.The book provides a detailed account of the arguments put forward by both Gompers and Allen during the debate, as well as the responses of the audience and the wider public to their arguments. It also includes transcripts of speeches and statements made by both men in the lead-up to the debate, providing context and background to their positions.Throughout the book, Gompers argues passionately for the importance of labor unions in protecting the rights and interests of workers, while Allen presents a more conservative view, arguing that unions are a threat to the stability of society and the economy. The debate is a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in American labor history, and provides valuable insight into the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and fair treatment in the workplace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
