hours before sunset by the scouting
party from the 9Th Iowa Cavalry

glance that attack could only result
in the humiliation of his entire COM

out of the cooperative contracting
business, 1t is understood. The plan
now is to amalgamate the two big
federal unions and line up the con-
tractors in way to secure work
for all members.
1t is claimed that Maloney's ar
raugement with his union was that
he should receive $40 per week sal
airy as business agent and $40 per
week on each contract he handled
for the union. Maloney developed
the cooperative contract scheme,

provements made by the union, as
the union was able to underbid pri-
vate contractors.
The latter made numerous at
tempts to block Maloney's opera
tons, but he steered clear of
trouble, and now has, or has had,
seven or eight contracts under way
for the union at once. With $40
coming in for each one of these per
week, in addition to his regular pay,
Maloney seemed to be doing pretty
well in the cooperative plan, a fact
that doubtless led to his undoing.
The members of the union en-
ployed on the contracts worked on
a percentage based on the $2.75 per
day wage scale, and If there were
any profits on the job it was divided
in the shape of dividends to the
laborers. AS general rule, there
were dividends, Maloney says.
Unless Maloney secures recon
sideration of the move to depose
him, however, the cooperative plan
of contracting appears to be slated
for abolition, thus removing one of
the hardest forms of competition
the contractors have had to combat.
