ELMER SAUER
To Head Retail Clerks
Union Newly Organized

The Retail Clerks Union re-organ-
izing campaign is proving hot num-
Der in trade union circles these days.
The second meeting of the campaign,
held last Monday night at the labor
temple, attracted another large num-
ber of clerks who want to get under
the protection of a trade union.
Organization was formed at this
meeting with the election of officers
as follows: President, Elmer Sauer;
vice president, Dorothy Bartlett; re-
cording secretary, Edward C. Felt
men; financial secretary, Robert A.
Fallert; treasurer, Daniel Cummings.
Twenty-three signed up at the
meeting Monday night, bringing the
charter membership roll up to 46.
This is getting a fine start and is
most encouraging to those back of
the movement to organize the sales
forces in the city. A working agree.
ment for clerks hours in the stores
was discussed and approved, and will
be submitted to the Clerks Interna-
tional Association for approval, to-
gether with application for a charter.
Another meeting will be held at
the labor temple next Monday night
at 8 o'clock to which all clerks in all
lines are invited and urgently re-
quested to attend as matters of i'm
portance to members will be dis
cussed.

ruling by Secretary of Labor Perkins,
union bricklayers and plasterers en-
ployed on government building in

be paid not less than $1.10 per hour
on public works projects and that the

be the determination for the payment

NAz DICTATORSHIP
Now Rules German Co.
Operative Movement

London.-The cooperative move.
ment in Germany has not escaped the
stranglehold of Hitler. Like the
trade unions, the whole cooperative
organization is now under the Nazi
dictatorship.
The executive of the international
COOPERATIVE Alliance, meeting in vi
emma, acceded to the request of the
British Cooperative Union (says the
Cooperative Union News Service
that inquiries should be made as to
the possibility of sending deputation
to Germany to make a first hand
investigation of the present position
of the German cooperative move
ment.
Reports to hand indicate that Nazi
nominees have been placed in control
of the central cooperative organiza-
tions in place of the freely-elected
representatives who have been COM
pulsorily retired. Organizations have
been merged without consulting their
wishes, and the whole movement has
been placed under the supervision of
Dr. Ley, the notorious Nazi commits
sar, who has been appointed by Hit
Ter to dictate policy to the Nazified
trade unions and other organizations
in the so-called workers Front" of
the Nazi organization.
"The new rulers of the German
cooperative movement" (says the
News Service) "profess their anxiety
to remain members of the Interna-
tional Cooperative Alliance. Before
this privilege can be extended to what
is now new organization, however,
it is necessary that co-operators
should be assured that cooperative
societies in Germany are receiving
fair play and that cooperative prin-
ciples are allowed reasonable oppor-
tunity for expression. Hence the need
for deputation from the Interna-
tional Cooperative Alliance to Ger
