Unionize Small Towns

This is a movement that originated in
the Twin Cities and it is planned to org
anize the laboring men into unions in
all of the larger towns where it would
be almost impossible to have thriving
organization for the separate trades.
It had been planned to have VIM. J..
Leduc of St. Paul here to explain the
object of the union which is to be formed
here. He could not be present, so JOHN
Ahrens explained in few words the
object of the meeting which is to better
the conditions of the working men.
Outside Contractors Discriminate
1t is claimed that when outside con-
tractors come here the laboring men
from New Ulm always get from Soc
to 81 less than the men get that the
contractors bring in from the outside.
With strong union perfected here it is
thot that it will be possible to overcome
the injustice shown on the part of the
outside contractors. 1t is claimed that
The New Ulm artisans arebetter equipped
for work than the people coming from
the bigger cities because in a place Of
the size Of New IJlm a man who, for
instance, is a sheet metal worker, will
necessarily have to learn other trades
which will help him in his work as sheet
metal worker and make him a more
valuable man. The same thing holds
good for plumbers A plumber in the
city the size of New Ulm not only learns
the regular. plumbing business but he
also learns the heating business.
-" Sixty-Five Join
OF those that were present IS joined
the prospective union and they organized
by electing Fred Weyhe, Chairman,
John Ahrens, Vice-chairman, George
Keckeisen, Secretary, and George Puch-
ner, Treasurer. The following were
elected as organizers: Tony B. Groeb-
ner, Jos. Polta, STAINS Sperl,, Geo. Puch-
ner, Pat Ryan and Arthur Mueller.
Herman Cordes and Carl Stone were
elected as committee on hall and John
lAhrens and Geo. Keckeisen as committee
on speaker and rules. A collection was
taken up to help defray the expenses
of the first meeting, and total Of $9.06
was contributes. =
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday evening, February rs, at which
time outside speakers will be present
for the purpose Of explaining the labor
movement and especially the movement
so far as it affects labor in the smaller
communities. At that meeting it will
also be decided whether the local organ
ization will affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor or whether they will
join the International Federation Of
Labor. They have an opportunity to
affiliate with either of these declarations.

The cane remains in this condition
throughout the winter-in the spring
the burrows are topped off, after
which sprouting begins and actual
