MK. HIJOHZB, M.P., ON THE CO-OPERATIVII
Pintarte.—ln addressing a meeting of the Peckham In-
dustrial and Provident Society, held on Thursday night at
the Rosemary Branch rooms, Mr. Hughes, M.P., observed
that the co-operative principle had extended itself in many
ways. They were aware of the "strikes" and "lock.
outs "in the north, where a terrible struggle was carried
on between capital end labour. Now, what would be the
result unless this struggle ceased ? Why, the whole trade
of the country would be driven out of it unless something
was done. And he was glad to say that the co-operative
principle was curing the evil. in the north employers got
sick of these disputes, and determined to do something to
put an end to them. In one instance, in the cue of the
Means. Briggs, the great coal owners of Wakefield,
they resolved to put an end to the system. They
got, in the first instant*, all their collieries valued, and
after retaining 10 per cent. for their capital, resolved
to divide the remaining profits among their working
men. Those collieries were valued at from 80,0001. to
00,0001. and having, as he said, determined to take
to themselves 10 per cent., they called together their
men and offered them shares, to be paid in entail sums and
by instalments, giving them a right to their fair share of
the profits after the 10 per cent. had been paid fur their
capital. What was the result! Previously the collieries
paid more than 7 per cent., whereas under the new
system not only was the 10 per cent. paid for ospitel to
Messrs. Briggs, but a sum of 1,8001. in hard cash was di-
vided among the working people. In the second year the
10 per cent. was also paid, a dividend of 3 per cent. was
declared, and 2,0001. divided among the workmen. This
principle thus carried out made these men partners, and
of course more careful, and hence it was that • vast
amount of expenditure was saved, and an enormous success
attained. The movement was only just beginning, but he
was strongly of opinion it would eventually succeed, and
put an end to those terrible struggles between labour and
capital which brought so much misery and ruin on hun-
dreds and thousands of families among the working
classes of this country. He exhorted them earnestly and
sincerely to persevere in their good work, and not be dis-
couraged by any opposition which might be thrown in their
way.
