in contrast, Patricia Cayo Sexton - in her *The War on Labor and the
Left: Understanding America's Unique Conservatism* - indicates that
the percentage of labor leaders favoring socialism declined from 37.7%
in 1900 to 27.5% in 1925 to 8.1% in 1946...Sexton's source is Gary
Fink in the *Biographical Dictionary of American Labor*...Michael
