22 American Federation of Labor
We stand for the principle that it is wrong to permit any of the female sex of our country to be forced to work, as we believe that the man should be provided with a fair wage in order to keep his female relatives from going to work. The man is the provider and should receive enough for his labor to give his family a respectable living. Membro dell’AFL Samuel Gompers, Pres. dell’AFL
