Actually, the proper name is the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which was founded in the 1930's by John L. Lewis. It, and the American Federation of Labor, disputed whether organized labor should be divided by the traditional "craft" method, or by industry. The dispute was ultimately resolved by a merger of the organizations into what is now known as the AFL-CIO.
The Knights of Labor parted from other labor organizations because they were organized by industry rather than by craft.
