(By a Young Worker Correspondent.)
WAWINA, Minn.—Our Young Workers' (Communist) League, which was organized in August, 1925, by our Cloquet (Minn.) comrades, is not progressing as rapidly as we would wish it to. It is hard to get new members, as most of the young workers would rather pocket their coin than use it to better their conditions.
We meet every second and fourth Sundays at our "Sovinto Society Hall" at 2 p. m., and such questions as "Why should the workers' organizations and co-operative societies work together to make better headway" are discussed. We also have studied why it is necessary for the co-operative stores to have their own wholesales or exchanges. We decided to elect a committee of three to represent our league in the community co-operative meetings.
At present we are having a membership campaign, and we hope to get at least two members from each section of our town. It is very important that we get more members, for two reasons: First, to get more young workers within our ranks; second, to get our league on a better financial basis.
It is our sincerest wish that all farming communities join the Young Workers' (Communist) League and help better the conditions of the workers all around.
