COOPERATIVE SUCCESS

A recent report on cooperative labor
in Great Britain is peculiarly interesting
in view of present labor agitations in
the United States. 1t is a remarkable
fact that while failure has been the rule,
in American cooperative enterprises,
success has been general in England and
Ireland. There Is no apparent reason
for this, but the fact is indisputable.
The chief difficulty in this country, as
close observation discloses, lies in the
managers of cooperative concerns
Being laborers and tradesmen, they are
deficient in practical knowledge that Is
obtalnable only by long experience in
business management. The same diff
ficulty, however, must be encountered in
cooperation abroad, and hence the So
luton is not found for the record of sue
cess on one side of the ocean and failure
on the other.
We have few examples of successful
cooperation in this country, but they
are as nothing compared with the record
of failures. Possibly the more preten-
tlous starting of such enterprises in the
United States may account, in some
measure, for the difference In results.
We learn from facts now presented that
very modest beginnings have been the
rule in Great Britain. and that in many
cases the start was made without hope
of extensive growth. The manner of
starting is here outlined:
few men have contributed q few
shillings or pounds that they had saved
as capital and applied 1t to some kind of
work, and having confidence in each
other, and being mutually faithful and
industrious, their business has grown.
They have taken on new hands as re-
quired, each new one becoming a part
ner as well as an employe, and so they
have gone or adding to the common
plant by diligence, honesty, intelligence
and thrift.
An example is cited of a cooperative
boot and shoe factory that started in
Leicester ten years ago. 1t began
with little shop In a back street Of that
city. 1t now has large building that it
owns, including the land with a library,
An instance of successful cooperation
in a different direction is furnished by
an Irish agricultural society. II was
instituted by a member of parliament,
who induced dairy farmers to pool their
business In a creamery. The success

And the deep forests, too. its echo finds
1t thrills the heart Of all humanity.
The supreme mountain chain swings wide

To let the weird sound go pulsing on:
And it's grim solitudes, where never mortal
Foot hath trod or eye looked upon,
Doth weave the sound with deep reverber-

With all the voices of the plying stars,
That sang their hymn, the choir of the cre-
alton,
And still repeat its broken fitful bars.

So strange and thrilling is Its deep re-

IN A QUANDARY

Major Mclaughlin ana MS state CoIH-
mittee are entitled to sympathy on ac-
count of the troubles with which they
are confronted. They are In quandary
as to how they shall manage the cam
paign. They are not embarrassed for
want of funds, but for want OF speakers
whose positions are such that they Will
have weight with the people.
In General Barnes they have discov-
cred that they have an elephant on their
hands. Being a Southern Pacific attor-
ney they dare not send him to the San
Joaquin valley. Besides. the impression
has been created that he Is more am
bilious to make a reputation for oratory
than to convince audiences; that he will
hazard the success of cause through
his passion for indulging in figures Of
speech.
AS reported, the serding of z. F.
Preston to the San Joaquin valley is
under consideration. Preston to Spreck-
els is sort Of man Friday, and he is at
torney for the Valley road, which COM
petes with the Southern Pacific for traffic
In that great valley, and has rendered
itself popular by making rates lower
than the Southern Pacific had been In
the habit of charging. This plan the
Southern Pacific people do not like, for
1t is subordination Of them to a trans
portation antagonist.

harangued in behalf of the free and un-

Morehouse has been so pronounced a

The disaster to the steamer Mohegan,

one more to the long list Of terrible

less clear up some early reports that are

struck is extremely dangerous. and has

also said that "there was movement set
