To cope with the high cost of Nv
Ing, the Commonweal Industrial COM
pany will be organized with a capital
iaatlon of $250,000 which will operate
retail cooperative stores In every part
OF Salt Lake.
This Is the result OF the delibera-
tionS OF the commercial committee re-
Gently appointed at n mass meeting OF
citizens in Salt Lake TO organize 4
campaign against the high price of

gnnlzers that their plan on a coop

down to the discontinue OF the con
sumer.
The plan. generally. Is to sell $4,000
shares of stock in the scheme at $40
a share, anyone being allowed to buy.
Voting will be ON the membership. In
stead OF stock plan, So as to avoid

In addition there will be withdraw
able funds in shares Of $40 each. car
Tyine dividends, but just such an
amount of these shares will be Issued
as the directors find necessary. They
Will be transferable. and may be with
drawn at the pleasure of the direct
ors.
The profits OF the business, after
paying expenses and creating a re
serve fund. will be divided into three
parts. Thirty.thrce per cent OF the
profits will be paid in stock as share
holders and wlthdrawable shares
Fifty per cent Will be paid to stock
holders in proportion to the amount
Of their prospective purchases. and
seventeen per cent will be paid to
non.members OF the company In pro-
portion to the amount or their pur-
chases.

In other words. when man whose
trade has amounted TO Sl0G Is re-
munerated he will get ten times the
amount given the man who trades
TO the extent of $40. regardless of how
much more money he has Invested In
the company, and this also means that
shareholders who are also customers
OF the stores will receive SO per cent

The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-18

Washington, January 1.-The petition of the writ of certiorari in the case of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago National bank of Chicago, un- der sentence to five years imprisonment in the federal prison at Leavenworth Kas., on the charge of misapplying the funds of the bank, was denied today by the supreme court of the United States.
 Originally there were 1s2 counts in the indictment against Walsh. He was found guilty on 54 of them and was given sen tence of five years for each of the 54 counts. The sentences were, however, made to run concurrently, so that in- stead of being compelled to undergo life Imprisonment he will be released at the end of one term.
 The denial of Walsh's plea for writ of certiorari closes the last chapter in the history of his long fight for free dom. The convicted banker is now pow erless to proceed further in his effort to escape the prison bars and the one-time bank president and railroad financier, who is now 72 years old, will, within a few days, be a convict in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kas. Since the United States circuit court Of appeals refused Mr. Walsh hearing and denied his petition for a stay of judgment bail was withdrawn and he has been in the special custody of a United States
