_T'll bring in money to the savings Co-operative Section This department will appear In every Monday's issue of the The DAILY WORKER. in& VAULY NEWS AND COMMENT Early Struggles in Great Britain By JOHN HAMILTON In “The Cooperative Movement.” HE chief obstacles to the success of the co-operative movement were the hostility of shop-keepers and wholesalers, the lack of education, un- business-like methods, and the ab- sence of legal protection, Fraud by officials and store-keepers was fairly common, altho the general honesty of those entrusted with responsible ad- ministrative positions in the workers’ movements has been very marked considering the temptations of the average worker’s life. Holyoake tells us that “some of the stores appear to have been troubled by the disap- pearance of cheese in larger propor- tion than the sales accounted for, and and announcement was made of the formation of a mouse-trap committee. Tha most serious difficulty was the law. Before 1852 the legal disabilities were; (a) every co-operative so- ciety was considered a private part- nership, and, every member was re- sponsible for the ttotal Mabilities of the society; (b) if it had more than 25 members it had no legal existence at all; hence (c) ft had no means of defense against embezzlement or rob- bery, and no power to enforce rules, As the law stood, an action could not be taken at common law by a part- ner suing his co-partner for breach of agreement or fraud. The only pro- cedure that could be adopted was by filing a bill in equity against his part- ner in the court of chancery, This was an expensive business, the cost of filing the bill alone being 602, hence the practical impossibility, in those days of soanty capital, of taking @ny proceedings against a fraudulent member. It was better to grin and bear losses than to risk all the sav- ings disappearing in a chancery suit. Luckily for the co-operative move- ment, an influential group of sympa- thizers—the Christian socialists — Placed their legal knowledge at its disposal. Help was also given and the cause championed in the house of commons by J. S. Mill (the econo- mist), Thomas Hughes and Walter Morrison (which championship re- sulted later in the loss of their seats by the hostile votes of shop-keepers). By GEORGE HALONEN. This Year Book contains a good deal of figures and statistics about the Co-operative Central Exchange. The figures as such do not have any life, but when you discover the incessant care and self-sacrificing industry by which the result was obtained the dull story begins to live. An increase of the sales from $613, 214.56 to $835,532.37 did not come by itself, and not only thru sound commercial practice, but thru hard work thruout the line. Many faint- hearted members had to be converted to understand co-operative centraliza- tion, many store managers had to be saved from the flattery and deception exercised by private salesmen, and we must admit that the number of Icyal store managers has been in- creased and that they did the ploneer- ing work among the masses with en- thusiasm and sacrifice. If we could present figures to show how many times our co-operative store managers and clerks have been compelled to explain the elementary truth of cen- tralized co-operation the figures would run high. ‘The work done thruout the line has brought results which show that the co-operative wholesale has come to stay and that its future is assured. To think, that in 1917 only 15 socte- ties wero affiliated with the exchange and the sales were only $25,573.62, ; A * Russian Co-Operatives ° * Raise Relief Fund for sae ° * British Mine Strikers MOSOOW, Aug. 28 (By Mail),—The co-operative section of the comintern stresses in an appeal the treachery of the International Co-operative Al- Nance which has rejected a proposal to organize an international campaign of assistance for the British miners and. calls upon all members of the cooperatives and upon all co-opera- tives to institute collections, to con- tribute a part of the dividends to the striké funds and. to organize associa- tions for the purpose of making pur- chases In bulk for the miners. The central union of Russian Co- operatives has sent.a further sum of 30,000 rubles to the British miners. Together with the previously de- spatched sums, this, makes a total of 116,000 rubles from the Russian co- operatives, Eventually parliament granted legal recognition. ‘ The Industrial and Provident Socleties’ Acts. The industrial and provident socie- tes act of 1852 gave to workers’ co- operative societies legal sanction, pro- tection against dishonest officials, and power to enforce rules. An act, how- ever, of 1855 made expenditure on edu- cation out of society funds illegal. Originally the Rochdale Pioneers had devoted 2% per cent of their net profits for educational purposes, and this prohibition gave a check to edu- cational work. It was removed by 1862, which also limited the liability of members of a co-operative society to the amount of shares held. But the mischief had been done, and as regards education “societies got out of the way of thinking it an essential matter.” J. M. Ladiow (later chief registrar of industrial and provident societies) drafted the act of 1852. Assistance was also given by Vansittart Neale (in after years secretary of the Co- operative Union), who drafted model rules, acted as legal adviser, and wrote the first Handbook for Co-op erators, Progress of the Central Co-operative Exchange in 1925 while at the end of 1925 there were 65 societies affiliated, buying from their own wholesale $836,532.37 worth: of goods. Co-operation Saves Expenses. The average expenses of the co* operative stores affiliated with the Co- operative Central Exchange were 12.16 per cent of net sales in 1925. The corresponding figure of the private store is about 18 per cent. And the net profit of the co-operatives will benefit those to whom it justly be- longs and not the private merchant. The Co-operative Central Exchange itself tells the same story. Last year our gross profit for the jobbing and wholesale departments was 7.31 per cent, and the expenses were 6.26 per cent. The corresponding figures of Privately owned wholesales of the same size were 11.5 per cent and 11 per cent. So it does not pay the glib-tongued salesman of private merchants to boast of their “cheaper” goods. Ac- cording to these figures their quality, not their price, is cheaper. Educational Activities, But the commercial end is not the whole purpose of the local co-opera- tives or their centralized wholesale. Bearing this in mind, the Co-operative Central Exchange has been ‘helping local societies to conduct educational work among the masses. v During last year the exchango is- + The public lbraries acts were pass- ed in 1850 and 1855; the newspaper duty was finally abolished in the lat- ter year, These were important meas- ures to men who realized the neces- sity of education in the cooperative movement—the type of men who had previously to pay 7d. for such news- papers as Feargus O'Connor's North- ern Star, Reform Movements. Another significant event of this re- form period was the founding of the Working Men’s College, in London, in 1854, by Frederick Maurice, The ani- mating motive of this experiment in adult education was to harmonize the radical antagonism between capital and labor. Maurice, in common with all the Ohristian socialists, made a general appeal on the broad basis of Christianity for a more endurable ex- istence for the workers. “Social re- form was the new line along which the ruling class was counseled to pro- ceed if it would save itself from the consequences of rebellion.” In this atmosphere the movement made steady progress, altho in the most important center of co-operation, Lancashire, the cotton famine of the sixties was a severe testing time. The storm was weathered successfully. Parliamentary returns of the move- ment were made by the registrar for the first time in 1862, and the follow- ing estimated figures give us an idea of the progress made in about twenty years: Number of societies, 450. Number of members, 90,000. Share and loan capital, £450,000, Annual sales, £2,350,000, Profits, £166,000, The Manchester Equitable Society started the Co-operator in 1860. Af- ter various vicissitudes, and the final merging into the Anti-Vaccinator, it went out of existence in 1871. A de- ficit due by the editor to the printers was paid by the English Wholesale Society. The Scottish Co-operator, published monthly at a half-penny, was launched in 1863, and ceased to exist in 1871. These years also saw a revival of co-operative conferences, both in the north and south. (To be Continued) sued 76,000 leaflets or seven different subjects. About 8,000 circulars, deal- ing with educational questions, were mailed to the educational committees, employes and boards of directors of the societies. Speakers and lecturers were furnished to about half a hun- dred localities. A mimeographed bul- letin, “The Pyramid Builder,” was sent to the employes of the co-opera- tives. (At present the “Pyramid Builder” has been changed to a monthly co-operative magazine.) The main task in the educational work has been to connect the isolated co-operatives with each other for com- mon purposes, and to make the masses understand that the co-operative move- ment is a working class movement and thereby a part of the general la- bor movement, The Future Is Promising. To judgo from the results achieved during the last year, the future, in- deed, is promising. About 20,000 mem- bers of the co-operative societies arg becoming more .and more convinced that the co-operative activity is not limited to their narrow localities. The commercial as well as the educational achievements are a proof that the masses of workers and farmers are working their way into a new, brighter future, determined that a new society must be built to replace the profit system.—The Northern States Co-op.

C., Sept. 12.— The population of the Soviet Union now exceeds that of 1913 in the same territory, according to official figures of the state planning commission re- ceived by the Russian information bu- reau. The present population is esti- mated at 141,400,000. A year ago it was 138,781,000 and under the census of 1920 it was 131,000,000, Before the war it was 140,000,000. The gain in population is attributed largely to the steady reduction of the death rate, particularly in regard to epidemic diseases, The death rate from typhold is now a little over one-third the pre-war rate and from smallpox one-fourth, Million In Industry, Of the present population 72,410,000 persons are classed as gainfully em: ployed, These include 69,846,000 per sons engaged in agriculture and 7,- 000,000 engaged in industries, trans- port and construction, The number of personsyclassed as living on in- dependentdmcomet in the Soviet Union is estimated at'50,000, The number of unemplo; imahe estimates {s 1,- 280,000, total urban population WORKER DON'T LIKE THE COMMUNISTS BUT ADMIT PROGRESS Even Capitalists Tell of Workers’ Advance CLEVELAND, 0,, Sept. 12.—Fred J.

Facts and Figures. The main article gives facts and figures to prove that the workers in the Akron plants are very much un- derpaid and overworked and also gives an idea of what melons the owners of the industry cut each year. There are néws items of struggles being fought by workers elsewhere, notably in Passaic, where the situa- tion prior to the strike that organ- ized 15,000 workers was very similar to the unorganized condition of the main indusiry here.

HELENDER, Worker Correspondent, PLENTYWOOD, Mont., Sept. 12. — Sunday, September 5, the special com- mittee appointed by the Council of Action of the Western Progressive Farmers of Montana gave their report of the investigation of the North Da- kota wheat pool, The members of the committee, Art Wankel, secretary of the Council of Action of the wheat pool; Eng. Tors- tensen, treasurer of Sheridan county. and Chas. E, Taylor, senator of Mon- tana, gave a very favorable report of the pool, and recommended that the Western Progressive Farmers, an or- ganization of about 5,000 members, Join. Withdraw From Agency. In their investigations in Minneapo- lis they heard criticism both favorable and unfavorable regarding the North Dakota Wheat Growers’ Association, but all seemed in favor of a pool of some sort or another, The American Sales Agency, with whom the North Dakota association was once connected, objected to the way in which Mr. Duis, the manager of the North Dakota association, has had this pool withdraw from the sales agency, thus forming another co-opera- tive, of a similar sort. Mr. Duis; in reply, stated that remaining in the sales agency would have meant abso- lute ruin for North Dakota. Farmers Favor Pool. The North Dakota farmers all seemed highly in favor of the pool, and even those who were holding their wheat for future peak prices, claimed that the pool was the thing. Mr. Tay- lor, in questioning one of these farm- ers about the pool, stated: “We are on a committee represent- ing a body of farmers of Montana, and our report may have some weight. Would you, after your experience with the North Dakota Wheat Growers’ As- sociation, and in your position, advise those farmers to join the N..D, W. G. A.?” He was answered: “I surely would.” Canadians Advise It. In Canada the wheat pool was highly in favor of the organization of a large similar institution in the States. The international officers at Winnipeg recommend that the Mon- tana growers join with the North Da- kota pool, for, they said, since the pool has been set up Canadian farm- ers have been receiving good prices for their wheat, Canada and the States are both in the same world market as far as wheat is concerned. It would not pay for the States to be unorganized with conditions as they are. The wheat, growers of Montana would be wise in joining such an efficient organization as the North Dakota pool. After a careful investigation, the committee found that the N.D.W.G.A.

The joining of the Montana West- tern Progressive Farmers into the pool will mean that over 3,000 farm- ers of the state will pool their wheat this year instead of sending it into the hands of private wheat specula- tors.
