He joined the car men's union and soon became an active member and a champion of organized labor.
White was heavily involved in the union and in 1907 was selected as one of the Representatives of organized labor to attend the Session of the 45th Illinois General Assembly.
In 1909 the Chicago Tribune paid Charles White $3,250 to publish his findings in the newspaper.
After Charles gave the Tribune his story, they printed it to make him look like the "bad guy."
