During July, the union recruited several hundred workers for the Campbell Soup Co.; the details on this and other activities related to the organized migration appear in an exchange between Schachter and Mitchell (15,21). The papers include the minutes of the College Girls Committee at Deerfield Packing (11,18) and a report to Mitchell from Lilease W. Rogers , the Chairman (28). J.E. Clayton traveled to Buchanan, Michigan to inspect the Clark Equipment Co. plant and wrote Mitchell on what he found (3). Meanwhile, Mitchell met with WMC officials in Washington to straighten out the difficulties between the STFU and the Commission; a summary of their agreement appears in a letter from Mitchell to the Commission (14)
