and the american federation of labor unions and other unions in this period. his message, as ernest was just saying, appealed to increasingly more people from a diverse amount of backgrounds. the red special would have been a good unifying kind of symbol to use to unite what were very disparate groups of people who were either working on farms or who were in urban areas. so it meant to his supporters kind of a challenge to big business. a challenge to capitalism. they would have called it big business for monopolies in that period. that's what red ban would have indicated in the 1908 election. it was a good way to unify people with the use of the red special. >> next telephone call from randy. >> caller: thank you. yes. i just wanted to give a little bit of background. my grandfather actually voted for eugene v. debs in the election. the other thing that i have, as i went through school, through the primary grades through high school, we never heard of eugene v. debs. it seems like one of the things that is really lacking in our education system is labor histo

embodied by the labor union versus industrial unionism which is what debs advocated through the iww. debs was after a working class movement where you erased the license that divided skills workers from unskilled workers. whereas the american federation of labor was composed of very tightly organized craft based unions. whether they are coopers or plumbers or carpenters or brick layers or that sort of thing. it was a very different kind of approach toward representing working class interests. they did not see eye-to-eye in continuing into the 1930s and '40s and '50s and beyond. >> debs campaigning for president in 1920. during the wilson administration, twice, his attorney general put before him clemency petitions. why did wilson say no? >> it's a little complicated. wilson was open to the idea initially, it seems, as a way to sort of clear the air after the war. he had a stroke. he seemed to sort of lose his moral compass. many people felt it was an obvious gesture of goodwill that he might make. he heard from a lot of soldiers and their families that debs was a traitor. it was certa

it's not labor, per se, it's labor unions. that's what you meant to say. >> yes. >> that's what you actually meant, right? >> yes. >> but labor sounds like it's everybody, but it's not. it's labor unions. and in fact, the progressives were part of a very strong unionist movement. unions didn't represent everybody. they represented themselves. in particular, they didn't represent african-americans. they were generally racially exclusionary. they did not represent women. they were white, male-dominated unions, and that is who the progressives strongly supported, and that was who promoted this particular legislation. and so, at that time there was skepticism about unions. there was skepticism by african-americans about unions because they were so dominated by white and males. and there was skepticism by businesses about unions, some businesses, and there was skepticism by other people. and the constitutional hook on which this skepticism was grounded was the notion that it wasn't within the police power to favor some subset of the

i think it probably suppressor initially that women in the labor forces and women in work and unions immediately opposed the equal rights amendment, because it would eliminate those protective pieces of legislation. i think her intent was good, and she thought it would be received very well, but right away, right in 1921, she realizes that she has a key opponent in florence kelly, who is working for labor unions specifically for women. and once protective legislation for women to help them in the workplace, to make sure they are not being overworked or underpaid. that is going to be one of the initial fights within the early part of the movement. page: ok. you talked about the difference between protective legislation versus blanket legislation. maybe you could give us a little more of an explanation of both of those. kris: sure. it is hard to explain. the protective legislation, the idea behind it was that women would have special restrictions in the workplace that would help them. for example, they would -- a lot of protective legislation would fight for an eight hour work day, whi
