Sabath, Adolph J. (1866–1952) U.S. representative; born in Zabori, Bohemia. Emigrating as a teenager, he arrived penniless in Chicago in 1881, going from shoe salesman to lawyer by 1893. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (Dem., Ill.; 1907–52), he championed unrestricted immigration and pro-labor measures like workmen's compensation. An internationalist ally to presidents Roosevelt and Truman, he was frustrated in his efforts to support them by the conservative members of his Rules Committee. How to thank TFD for its existence?
