An obituary for Walfrid Jokinen, a longtime IWW member associated with the Finnish-speaking part of the union in Northern Minnesota. Originally appeared in the Industrial Worker (September 1970).
Fellow Worker Walfrid Jokinen died of a heart attack in San Francisco during a visit there August 8. He was the son of a staunch IWW family, and studied and taught at the Work People's College. In the Thirties, Walfrid attempted to revive interest in the Union on the Mesaba Iron Range. Later he became a sociology professor, continuing his association with the Industrialisti at the same time. He was a popular speaker at Finnish picnics, and his master's thesis dealt with Finnish IWW activities in Minnesota, including the story of Tyovaen Opisto, or the Work People's College, a residential labor school which our Finnish Fellow Workers maintained in Duluth until 1940.

Hey, this is great, thanks for uploading! Just a short editing note, but you don't need to format the intro with bold text. Best thing is to leave the intro in just regular text. Thanks again!
