Industrial Justice Is
Way to World Peace
Says Labor Leade,

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec 2.-Until
industrial justice shall become the
established rule among men, no guar
antee of permanent world peace can
be held forth. John H. Walker, retiring
president of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor, declared in his annual
report to the convention here today.
Mr. Walker, who has served five
years, and who will not be a candi-
date for reelection, characterized trade
unionism and the cooperative move
ment as the most hopeful solution Of
labor problems.
I'VE must establish conditions re-
quiring every man and woman to deal
justly in all economic transactions
with other men and women before we
have peace" he said Peace must
follow justice, and there will be no
justice while men and women who are
selfish, INSCRIPTIONS, cunning and
powerful have the legal, right to serve
their own selfish ends by taking ad-
vantage of others ignorance, lack of
organization and helplessness.'
Indorsing the cooperative movement.
Mr. Walker declared it would procure
for the consumers, big majority Of
whom are actual workers, the neces-
stiles at approximately cost While
cut price methods will not be used,
the speaker said the difference be-
tween actual cost Of operation and the
prices charged will be paid back to
members OF the cooperative society
quarterly as a dividend
THE next step is the establishment
Of the wholesale department which
already has been taken in Illinois
through the Central Cooperative So
ciety While we lack funds. we will
deal with the large wholesalers and
possibly some manufacturers and de-
pend on our ability to purchase in
large lots. But later on. when we have
accumulated sufficient funds to estab-
lish our own office headquarters, our
own storage warehouses and side
tracks. we will deal with the manu-
save all extortion or cost on account
of unnecessary middlemen. Where
the manufacturers or farmers refuse
to do business on an honest basis We
will manufacture and engage in agri-
culture ourselves"
The report said the Illinois Fedora
'ion had grown in FIVE years from
of $4,000 to an enrolment
of 100000, wit ha total of $4,000 af-
filiated Indirectly through sixty CEN
tral bodies.
The report approved the calling OF
the proposed constitutional conven-
ton to revise the basic law OF the
state and urged the necessity of elect
ing delegates friendly to labor.
