twenty-four countries. More than twenty
countries had wholesale cooperative socie-
have 4O,OOOOOO members, representing
sented. These were the representatives of
100000 consumers. 1t is now estimated
that if the international Alliance holds it's
next Congress in 1915 the movement will
have 100000 memfers, representing
2OO,OOO,OOO people. The International Bull
letin continues to be published even during
the war and monthly contains articles by
Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen, Italians,
Austrians and Russians.
During the war the movement, even in
the belligerent countries, has made greater
progress than ever before. It has not only
served the co-operators, but in Europe it
has been the greatest of all forces, standing
between the people and profit-making bust
ness. It has kept down prices, and pre-
vented profiteering, by establishing stand
ards in the costs of production and dis
tribution.
Cooperation is peculiarly practical. It
succeeds. When societies begin to produce
for themselves, they are not producing
for probematical market: they know
definitely what they want. Production is
undertaken to supply know need There
is no Over-production nor under production.
No craftsmanship, advertising short weights
nor adulterated goods play figure in CO.
operation.
Wherever cooperation springs up it is
attacked by the forces which thrive by
robbing the people. Predatory business
big and little-and every agency which is
organized to wiring profits out of the unor-
ganized consumers are the enemies of CO.
operation. Every European country has
witnessed battles between the co-operators
and the trusts and the co-operators have
always won. The great governments of the
world have always been more or less an
tagonistic to cooperation; it has interfered
with the privilege of profit-making.
In the United States cooperation is tax
ing root. About 1000 societies are now
in operation. When these societies unite
into confederation the success of the
movement in this country will be guaran-
teed. The more societies there are the
greater will be their success. The best re-
suits are secured by groups of people who
already have some ties to bind them, such
as labor organizations, racial affiliations, or
society membership. The Finnish people
in America are phenomenally successful

Of all people that the government discrim-

to cooperate as an agricultural producer;
he shows it as consumer.
The Cooperative Movement is bringing
the message of hope to the working classes.

WORLD TO PROTEST
 RUSSIAN MASSACRE

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Ameri- can Russian Chamber of Commerce today appealed to civic and religious organizations throughout the country to protest against the massacre in Russia of all the members of the bour- geoisie, which, according to cable dis patches last week, the bolsheviki in tend to carry out on November 10. The chamber has received information in dicating that the bolsheviki plan massacre on greater scale than pre- vious advices have indicated.
 The appeal urges that the govern ment of the United States be asked to unite with the governments of the allied nations to warn Germany and the bolsheviki government that all par ticipants in any massacre will be held responsible for their lives.
