GERMAN WORKERS
 RUSH TO UNIONS
Losses in Ranks During 1o2o-21 Re couped By Gains During
 Past Year.

With a gain of 383,663 members during the first nine months of 1922 the General German Trade Union League had 8,135,62o working men and women on its rolls on October I, and had almost entirely recouped the losses sustained in the latter part of
 1920 and the beginning of 1921, ac- cording to data recently made public by the central office in Berlin. The high-water mark of German trade union membership was reached on July I, 1920, when 8,I44,o81 workers were in the ranks of the 52 national unions then affiliated with the central body. The drop in membership that followed continued for only a year. Then the recovery began, and at pres ent there are more unionists in Ger many than ever before. In 1913 there were only 2,573,7I8 members i'll the unions now making up the General German Trade Union League, which is the central organization of the so- called Socialist unions.
 That the actual gains in member ship during the last year were larger than indicated by the totals given is apparent when 1t is noted that the Clerical Workers Association, with 3I2,o8o members, withdrew from the General German Trade Union League in 1921 to affiliate with the General Free Clerical Workers League under a working agreement concluded be- tween the two general organizations. What the Berlin Vorwarts character ized as the carrying out of the plans of the late Carl Legien, the veteran German labor chief occurred on De- cember P, when the General German Officials League Gan organization made up principally of petty officials and higher-paid clerical employes), re- ceived jurisdiction over all such work CTS and agreed to form united front with the General German Trade Un- ion League and the General Free Clerical Workers League. This ac- ton will cause a temporary dimuni- ton of the membership of the Trade l Union League through the withdraw al of it's petty officials for the purpose l of joining the Officials League, but its general effect will be a material 1 strengthening of the fighting powers | of the German labor movement.
 The membership of the unions af- fliated with the central organization | of the Christian Trade Unions of 1 Germany was 1,o28,ooo at the begin ming of 1922, gain of 100000 during l LAC yCoIS dANOAu lO OCAdtCO printed in a recent issue of the or ganization's paper. The Christian 1 unions of railroad and postofice em- ployes numbering about I8o,ooo with drew from the central body a couple | of years ago and are now directly af- fiiliated with the German Trade l Union League which is headed by l Deputy Stegerwald of the Centrist | Party, and embraces the Christian Trade Unions and most of the other clerically inclined union organiza- lions. /
 According to the latest data the va rious trade unions of Germany, in cluding organizations of Government workers and several Communist groups, have combined membership of about I5,ooo,ooo, or almost 25 per cent of the total population, com pared with about 7 per cent before the World War.
