The A.F. of L. and the “New Radicalism”

The announcement that John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, will head a new $1,000,000 labor bank to be opened at Indianapolis, coming on the heels of the opening of the sixteenth labor bank in this country, gives a new turn to the labor banking movement which heretofore has received little support from the “fighting” leaders of organized, labor.
