In the March issue of the Journal, Organizer Dickson mentions that he was in Harrisburg and held a meeting on January 27th. A number of men attended that meeting and on February 5, 1914, a new local was founded in Harrisburg with a very good membership. Officers were elected and installed and Organizer Dickson felt sure the Local would rise because of the proper spirit displayed and also because of its location in the Capital City. The initiation fee in 1914 was $1.00 and monthly dues were $1.30. Our current fee is $200 and monthly dues are $26. Our Local has seen many places for holding our Union meetings. Our first meeting place was at 310 Market Street and meetings were held every week, or as needed. In the years that followed, our meetings were held at various locations throughout Harrisburg, which included 211 Locust Street, 25 S. Second Street, 109 S. Second Street, 221 Market Street, 1219 N. Third Street and 2163 Berryhill Street. Our meetings from 1971 to the present day have been held at 7193 Jonestown Road. This building was built and paid for by the membership of Local 520.
