Some of the factors that contributed to their downfall were the techniques used by management to defeat labor, public opinions, and the lack of government support for labor. ... The corporations seized the time when organized labor lacked unity. Different groups, such as the Knights and Labor and the Socialists were fighting to represent labor unions (Doc F).
