PROVIDES Direct
MARKET ROUTES
Coo peratiVe Grocery Store Is
Established by City Work.
erS in St. Paul.

st. Paul and Minneapolis labor
unions have entered the cooperative
movement with active and effective
work. In St. Paul a retail grocery,
meat and provision store is to be
opened within 60 days. Members of
st. Paul labor unions. and their SYM
pathizers own and operate the store
under a cooperative plan.
Carl E. Lunn of Seattle, Wash. or
ganized the store in st. Paul. He
worked in cooperation with G. T.
Lowrie, head of the Cooperative
farmer owned VIII olesa1e 11ouse. Uunn
has just returned to Seattle tempo
rarily, but he intends returning to
Minnesota soon with PLANS Of starting
one cooperative store in every city
in Minnesota.
Store Strictly Union.
In st. Paul centrally located site
downtown will be secured. and the
store will be run along the same gen.
eral plans as other large retail gro
Gerry and meat stores. The institu-
ton will be strictly union, however,
handling so far as possible only union
made goods. A board of directors has
been named from among St. Paul la
Dor unions: John Burns, president of
the carpenters union. is chairman of
the board. Other members are John
Jents, tilelayers' union; James Clancy,
president Of the St, Paul Trades and
Labor assembly and imember Of the
st. Paul city council, Gust Olmquist,
carpenters union; Henning Swanson,
carpenters union; A. E. Smith, ma
chinists' union; Edward J. Jacks,
president of the painters. union; Will
liam Jents anfzAugustS zasturowN Of
the electrical workers union.
Buy From Farmers.
Groceries will be. sspurchased at
wholesale through the COOPERATIVE
Wholesale Society of America. This
is the farmer -owned wholesale house.
For the present, meats will be pur-
chased at Wholesale Of tie open mar
ket, but as soon as one Of the farm
ers' cooperative packing plants open
meats will be brought there.
1.-The cooperative society thus
formed" Lunn said. twill follow the
lead of the similar organization on
Puget sound and will enter the milk
business. This is the only solution of
the present situation. 1t will not only
reduce the price to the consumer, but
it will give a. pure product that can
not be secured now. It will allow
| the producer a more equitable margin
for his product. The public is in
censed at the present price of milk.
But all the protest meetings. all the
resolutions, all the denunciations and
all the appeals to price-f1xing COM
missions that the people want to make
avail nothing. The trouble is with
the present system of distribution,
| which is absolutely wasteful to a
criminal point. The consumers of
Seattle recently purchased a con-
| densery and they are building dairy.
| It will soon be possible to establish
| a complete system of distribution di-
rect from the producer to the con-
sumer."

NO Wire STRIKE
President Wilson Helps Stop
Strike of TeIegraphers.
Details of Labor Settlement Are
Kept Secret.

Washington, June 10.-That Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of Labor
Wilson have successfully acted to
avert a strike of commercial tele =
graphers was indicated in high Off
cial circles today.
Pending formal announcement of
the solution reported, no elaboration
of the statement was forthcoming.
Union Heads in Dark.
Chicago. June 10.-No official word
that the threatened telegraphers
strike has been averted had reached
President Konenkamp for the tele-
Sraphers union today.
Il know that every effort is being
made in Washington to avert the
strike" Konenkemp said, "and 1 am
sincerely hopeful that the negotiations
will succeed"
The national war labor board at
meeting scheduled for Wednesday in
Chicago is expected to discuss meas
ures to force the telegraph companies
to recognize the right of workers to
organize into unions, one of the prin-
ciples set forth in President Wilson'S
proclamation creating the board.
Altho the board does not coun-
tenance strikes, its position is that il
must back up this principle. Tele-
grams received at the White House
signed by thousands of telegraphers
protesting against a strike are not ex-
pected to affect the boards position.
