The restructuring of government was the goal not supported by labor leader Samuel Gompers.
Samuel Gompers was an English-born American labor union leader and a very important figure in American labor history. He was the founder of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Besides, he was the organization's president from 1886 to 1894, and from 1895 until he passed away in 1924. He mostly supported Democrats, but sometimes Republicans.
He opposed Socialists and during World War I, he and the AFL advocated the war effort, trying to stave off strikes and promote morale while increasing wage rates and expanding membership.
