At 74 years old, his frailty is evident as he fights against influenza following a severe bout of pneumonia. The image captures both his physical vulnerability and unwavering determination. Mr Gompers was an influential figure in American labor history and played a pivotal role in championing workers' rights during his tenure. As president of one of the most prominent labor organizations in the United States, he tirelessly fought for fair wages, improved working conditions, and better treatment for all workers.
