COOP MOVEMENT IN L. S.
GROWS TREMENDOUSLY

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-The cooper
ative movement in America is grow
ing at a tremendous rate, according
to Duncan Mcdonald, for many years
active in labor and Socialist move
NESTS, who has just been chosen
general organizer for The Co-opera-
tive League of America, with head
quarters at West Thirteen street,
New York. City.
The league was organized for the
purpose of carrying on an effective
campaign for the cooperative move
ment by furnishing literature, books,
pamphlets, organizers and speakers.
The organization is anxious to get in
touch with every person in America
interested in the movement.
'The present high prices" says Ne
Donald, "are causing workers in ev
cry part of the country to seek re
lief This relief is being found in
the cooperative stores. From these
the movement will spread to the
wholesale house, the factory and mill,
and eventually the mines and every
line of endeavor.
As Stores in Illinois
"There are now As stores operating
in Illinois, practically all of these in
the mining towns, although the mill
towns, railroad centers and farming
communities are taking it up. These
stores are doing a business now in
excess of $250,000 per month, or
more than $3,OO0,O00 per year, and
the movement has only been under
way two or three years"
Movement Is Effective
"The movement is the most eff
fective way of taking over the in
dustries, as the profits in some of
the stores have more than paid for
the store since starting" Mcdonald
says.
A cooperative insurance plan is
being considered. In fact, there is
no limit to the movement 1t now
numbers among its members many
of the progressive trades union and
Socialist workers. Those interested
are asked to correspond with the
league in New York.

@. !. Is it an infringement of
the Postal laws for neighbors in a
rural district to use their mail boxes
as a convenience for exchange of pa
pers, magazines, calls of meetings,
etc, without postOffice stamps, when
said things are removed by the own
er of his box without the interven-
ton of the mail carrier?
2. Can a nOn-citizen purchase, own
and legally hold real estate in this
country without as much as having
declared his intention to become a
citizen?
3. Is the law regarding the above
question of property in effect the
same for Chinese, or a Japanese
as for a European. H. T.
A. /. No mail boxes may be put
to the usese you mentioned without
violating the postal laws
q 1t is contrary to the laws of
this state, Washington for an alien
to own land, excepting mineral lands,
but the disqualification is removed
by declaration of intention to be-
come a citizen.
3, The law applies to all nation
alities and races.
@. Is the Draft Law passed by the
L. S. Congress constitutional?
A SUBSCRIBER.
A. There is some doubt about the
constitutionality of the law An ac-
ton has been started to have it
declared unconstitutional. But the
Supreme Court of the U. S. can be
depended on to hold that it is con-
stitutional.

SUPREME COURT
TACKLES QUESTION
What is a Cabaret Alongside
of the Moot Adamson
Law?
NV United Press.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Flittingly
lightly from weighty arguments in the
Adamson 8-hour law case, the Supreme
Court today is pondering the question
What is a cabaret?
Victor Herbert sassy it's aperform-
ance for profit. Shanleys in the heart
of New York's lobster belt. says it's
not.
Vic. composed a piece for his copy
righted opera, "Sweethearts.' In it is
a song on the same name. Shanley's
started using the song in a cabaret
number. With a wall of anguish. Her
bert hoped out to rescue his brain
child from the restaurant He didn't
succeed. so he left the cafe and entered
suit.
Arguments for Herbert were that a
cabaret is a performance for profit. and
that therefore Herbert is entitled to
ROYALTIES. To support the performance
-for-proft plea advertisements Of
shanley's were introduced. in which
the words cabaret extraordinaire"
were used. Blushing modestly. Herbert
by his attorneys admitted his song
probably had something to do with it.
In turn. the cabaret pleaded that no
admission is charged, and that there
fore therei $ no profit. Although Her
bert's attorneys replied that the admis-
sion charge is Incorporated in the
charge for food and drink. two New
york courtsuphel d the cabaret.

CLUB WOME N MOVED
To TEARS BY STOf !

A widow, scrub woman in Ch.caEo.
who had two children, went one morn
ing to the roof of the tenement buildi1.y
in which she lived to hang up some
washing Unbeknown to her the widow 5
son. a little tot of three. followed his
mother to the roof. A high wind blew
the little fellow of the roof and he was
instantly killed. When settlement
house workers asked what further they
could do for the woman after they had
buried the child she replied:
Il have another baby. Give me one
days wages so can stay home for that
long just to hold the baby. The little
fellow, who is dead, always wanted me
to hold him. but 1 never had the time -
This is the incident. according to Mrs.
Kate wood Ray that caused Illinois to
pass the mothers pension bill. She
told the story yesterday afternoon in
an address before the woman's Cath
oIic league in Gary. When Mrs. Ray
got through many of the women were
weeping. some of them having lost chill
dren of their own.
Mrs. Ray urged votes for women and
criticised Governor Goodrich because
his inaugural message didn't say any
thing tangible urging legislation for
women and children. She compared L
with Governor Lowden's address. which
she said bristled with suggestions for
aiding the women and children Of 1lli-
nois. Mrs. Ray is president of the Gary
Civic Service club.

PROvOkES
INCREASING
DISCUSSION

The publication of the resolutions of
the Hammond Chamber of Commerce
relative TO meeting to discuss
amalgamation has caused a stir among
business men and citizens of East Chi
cago who begin to see the handwriting
on the wall.
1t is fully recognized that the details
OF the problem may present unforeseen
difficulties but just at the present time
the unanimity of sentiment in both
Hammond and East Chicago in favor of
threhing the matter out to the limit and
in getting together If such a thing can
be accomplished equitably is one of the
surprising signs of the times.
The letter from a Car Man" pub
lished last night on page 5 in these
columns is indicative of a widespread
desire that the cities get together.
This desire seems to come largely
from the present burdens of taxation,
the supposition being that great
economy of administration can be ef-
fected by amalgamation.
