Option A

Explanation:

In 1881, Samuel Gompers picked over the leadership of the USA’s Confederation of Organized Commerce and Unions in Canada.  

The union was founded in 1886 in Columbus, Ohio as the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The first president of the AFL was Gompers. He stayed the president of the company until his death in 1924, except for one year.

Under the leadership of Gompers, the AFL became the United States ' strongest labor union. The AFL permitted the company to join only skilled workers. Originally, unqualified workers were not listed under the AFL.  

In the beginning, the organization even excluded the participation of women, African-Americans and other people of color. Gompers advocated the use of strikes but preferred to work quietly to secure equal wages with their employers ' workers.  

In his opinion, political action could offend other industries and obstruct employees ' ability to obtain better working conditions; he also wanted to maintain AFL out of the political sphere.
