World War I had a bad effect on the labor unions. First of all, labor union leaders, who had spoken out against the war were charged under the Espionage Act, tried and imprisoned. Although they had grown prior to World War I, they lost ground afterwards. Accusations of communism levied against labor unions, which were fueled by the Red Scare, cost them over a million members. However, the twenties would see their membership numbers surge again.
