Sentence needing clarification[edit]

Hello,
I can't understand the exact meaning of the following sentence (which I would like to translate to french) : His followers were loosely organised in the so-called Foster-Cannon faction which looked to "native" American workers in the unions.
Can anyone give me an explanation (or rephrasing)? --140.94.82.30 07:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be more precise, it's mainly the second part of the sentence which I can't understand (which looked to "native" American workers in the unions.). What was their activity about? promoting "native" american workers participation in the unions? The sentence isn't very clear to me...

I think it basicly means that the Foster-Cannon faction/group was mostly made of trade unionists who were born in America, (not immigrants). Bronks 16:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer.

As far as I know "native" Americans = american Indians, so this means Foster/Cannon faction was mostly made of american indian unionists?

I'll assume this for the translation, unless someone has a different explanation...

The term should be "native born American workers" not "native Americans" which does refer to American Indians.DavidMIA (talk) 08:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sacco & Vanzetti[edit]

I note that the article is locked for editing, but I think it needs to mentioned there that Cannon played a leading role in building solidarity and support for Sacco & Vanzetti as the head of the ILD and got to know both men personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6045:E3:5CE4:99C4:229F:DE6E (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
