Workers In Organizational
Mood; jewelers. Last
To Join

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 49,
The first results of the member
ship drive of Locals 544 and 120
of Minneapolis and st. Paul are
beginning to be felt. At a joint
meeting of the unions held Thurs
day in st. Paul over $50 formerly
unorganized truck drivers and in
side workers joined the st. Paul
union, Local 100. AS the first
step to an intensive drive to union
ize the drivers and inside work
ers of the Twin Cities, this re-
suit is highly gratifying. More
meetings will be arranged with
the prospect of like response by
the workers.
The workers of the cities are in
an organizational mood. Each day
finds the work of unionizing the
unorganized proceeding splendidly.
Socialists are active as organic
ers. The latest group of previ-
ously unorganized workers to be-
come unionists is the jewelry
workers, who have for years work
ed under very adverse conditions.
The drivers and inside workers of
the Chippewa Springs Corporation,
a company with which Local 544
has had many bitter experiences,
are now all union men, and the
company has signed an agreement
with the union. Drivers employ
ed by the Century Sand and Ora
vel Company have induced the
company to grant union conditions
in the plant. A special provision
also in the agreement provides for
the payment of back pay to the
drivers, which amounts to 800 10
date, with another $3.50 forth
coming in the near future. This
amount will be divided among the
drivers according to their payroll
record. Grocery workers are
flocking into Local 544 at a great
rate. A union agreement is being
drawn up to be presented to their
employers, mostly engaged in
wholesale trade. It is planned to
deal with the grocers as a group,
which is of course the correct
procedure. Workers engaged in
the packing house industry are in
the process Of being organized.
The industry is largely non-union
locally which accounts for their
poor working conditions-long
hours, short pay, and all the other
concomitants of nonunion condi-
tions This condition will not pre-
vail in the future, the workers
promise. The laundry drivers are
doing fine work in unionizing the
industry, which is largely union
so far as the drivers are concern
ed. Most of the large firms in
the city are rapidly being organi-
