Respuesta :

D. government ownership of factories. Gompers was a key figure in the labor movement but strongly opposed Socialists.

The correct answer is D) government ownership of factories.

The goal was supported by socialists, but not by Samuel Gompers was the government ownership of factories.

Samuel Gompers (1850-1924) was the President of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). As the Union leader he was, he invited the unions to exert economic coercion through strikes, in a time that unions were greatly critiqued by owners. He always rejected the idea of government ownership of factories.
