Talk:Matthew Woll

Untitled
I'd argue for Mid-Level Importance. Woll and John P. Frey were two of the most important labor leaders at the American Federation of Labor during the presidency of William Green. Green, in many ways, was their puppet. This was a formative period for the American labor movement (formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, passage of the Norris-LaGuardia Act, passage of the National Labor Relations Act, the Great Depression, etc.). Woll, Frey and Green dominated the American labor movement. Woll and Frey's roles are not widely known. But that's like saying most people don't know that Edith Wilson began running the country after her husband, Woodrow Wilson, had a stroke. She did, and that's of at least mid-level importance. So is Woll's role. Tim1965 03:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
