Another striking illustration Of this new
movement is furnished by N o. Nelson OF
st. Louis, Mo. He has also established
successful factory community, in which NJ
himself resides. He considers that the
enormous interests over which he presides
are his only in trust, to be directed for
the benefit alike of all those who labor with
him. He says:
Co operation will supersede the competi-
tive plan just as the wage system sup
planted slavery and serfdoai. The business
managers of the future will look back upon
the nineteenth century way very much as
we Of the southern states look back on the
slavery times. The panics and failures, the
strikes and combinations, the promoters
