The campaign at Wilson's is
moving like an efficient machine.
1t brought in over 400 renewals
and new subscriptions in one day
last Friday, and there's more
coming.
Carl Nelson, Star Campaign
director for the packing unions,
says there's no secret Nabout the
success of their campaign.
Any local could use the same
methods and get equally good re-
suits.
I'VE planned the Star cam
paign just like an organizing
campaign" Nelson said.
AFTER thorough planning -
by the whole union leadership
the campaign moved into the
plant. At strike preparation
meetings in each department, the
local president Sam Parks,
spoke and discussed the value of
the Chicago Star in relation to
the unions coming strike.
''The Star is valuable weap-
ON for the clearinghouse work
err" Parks stated. Subscribing
for the Star is an important
part of our preparation for a
solid, united Strike!"
Then last Friday stewards re-
ceived subscription lists for their
departments.
EACH steward canvaSsed his
department. At the days end, the
local turned over more than 400
subs to Nelson.
But that's just half the story.

Not satisfied with short term
subscriptions, the Wilson local
planned it's campaign to bring
in one-year subscriptions, with a
minimum of financial strain on
the union membership.
Dollars were collected last Fri
day. On the next Friday, the
same efficient machinery will
swing into action to collect the
remaining 81 for a oneyear re-

John M. Gray, Executive Secre-

out that there is a great commit

The Congress proposes to unite
all such groups and others in eff
