520 1 $a"Today in the USA millions are discontented with the two main parties, as a recent attempt by union activists to launch a labor party demonstrates. Yet few are aware that 1918-24 saw the most substantial attempt, to date, by organized labor to build a labor party. Between these years major city centres of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in the face of opposition from the national AFL leadership, launched labor parties.
520 8 $aIn 1924, the AFL supported an independent presidential candidate for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"Yet for the most part historians have paid scant attention to this activity. This comparative study of organized labor in New York, Chicago and Seattle, 1918-24, not only attempts to fill this lamentable gap in US historiography but also challenges the 'exceptionalist' view of the American class system. For the failure to build a labor party had more to do with opposition from the employers, the main parties and the AFL leadership than any ideological commitment to the 'American Dream'."--BOOK JACKET.
