Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

AFL was started by Samuel Gompers and Adolph Strasser of the Cigarmakers' Union which ultimately became the dominant organization of the American labor movement. This organization was a rival of both the Socialists and the Knights of Labor. In contrast to the political activities of the Knights and the Socialists, the AFL emphasized union activities.
The AFL adopted a pattern of union organization based on the British trade union system:

local unions were to be organized under the authority of a national association;
dues were to be raised to create a large financial reserve; and
sick and death benefits were to be provided to members.
By 1900, organized labor was largely composed of the 500,000 skilled workers in AFL-affiliated unions. For the next few decades, the AFL and its affiliated craft unions dominated the organized labor movement in America.
