Description | Photograph of a meeting of many important union leaders. Speaking is AFL President William Green, and to the right is future CIO Vice President Allan Shaw Haywood. Also pictured are future Textile Workers Union of America President Emil Rieve (seated, far right of first row), Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America leader and future President Jacob Potofsky (to Rieve's right), and future Textile Workers Union of America Vice President George Baldanzi.
