The Organizer

Official Organ of the Minneapolis Teamsters Local 574

Newspaper of the fighting Teamsters local 574 during the Minneapolis Teamsters Strikes in the summer of 1934. It was produced, varyingly, daily and weekly and bi-weekly depending on the class struggle during the summer months that year. The Organizer chronicled the the 3 large strikes that turned Minneapolis around from being a non-union open shop town to a completely union town. The paper was edited by James P. Cannon.
