Tho abor Exchange Discusses Its
Idea Of Monetary System
The Labor Exchange was yester lay
afternoon addressed by John s. Clark,
State organizer of the society, and George
Cumming of the Mechanics Institute,
with five minute speeches by other men,
bers of the society.
Mr.. Clark spoke of the requisites OF q
legitimate business life, which he neld
grew out OF the necessities OF the people.
! hese requisites he named as: First
Something to produce out of. For this
purpose he said the earth complied with
all the requirements.
The second requisite he considered the
producers, and these he showed by the
statistics of the unem ployed, we mad in
abundance. There is absolutely only
one other requirement" he said, "some
thing to facilitate the exchange OF COM
modities after they nave been produced
from the EARTH" The speaker then ex-
planned the labor idea theory of q mon-
etary system, which is the issuance OF
checks representing actual commodities.
This. he held. was the solution of the
third requisite.
George Cumming spoke OF the fallacy of
the present so-called competitive system.
He argued that the labor-exchange idea

was the rational solution of the social
question.

Mrs. Whiting and Miss Cary, two noble

These were greatly appreciated, but nun

are looking forward to the day when the
bou evard work will be given out. "But,
said he. that will not be tomorrow, and
the immediate is what we most need.

appear on the surface. We have hundreds
of deserving poor men, women and chill

and in many cases they are ill. These
have to be cared for first Since we have
been here, that is in the past week, we
have cared for 1877 families out OF the pro-
visions that were contributed to US. We
are no longer in position to do this, as
we are utterly without funds and out OF
food"
Mrs. Moore and Mrs Mcuee of the
EN- manuel Baptist Church called at head
quarters yesterday and got the names and
addresses of some nf the destitute fami-
lies so as to assist them.
Yesterday was wash day with the un-
employed. Some 260 pieces of soap were
distributed and the men used them 10
good advantage.
