Thanks Seuss.! I was just hoping we'd get the name of the group, but you got names for all of the people too!

"Samuel Gompers (January 27, 1850 – December 13, 1924) was an English-born, American labor union leader and a key figure in American labor history." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Gompers see also www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6830335873/
