Arnold was elected chairman of the meeting; Charles Lucas was chosen vice-chairman, and Fred Roz zell. secretary. While the newly organized local here includes only about half of the employes of the Salem plants oper ated by the Spaurding Logging com pany other workers have expressed desire to affiliate witn tne organi zation, and it is predicted that the next two weeks will see the mem bership swelled to more than 100. New locals have been organizea ai Black Rock and Hoskins during the past week, and in each instance the members arc taking an active part in the affairs of the organization. These camps are a part of the Spaulding chain of operations, and are the beadauarters of several hun dred workers.
