tinuance OF the rally which accom-

Reasons for the setback were based
IN part on the stronger tone OF the
money market and further unsatisfac-
tory labor conditions.

not less than $3.50 a month.
At the meeting Sunday impotence
with Mr.. Hines and the wage board
was expressed.

members must not and can not be

cause of our government in its fight
for democracy by contributing thou

meeting of the chamber to take &C
ton to secure a real fair for L.atah
county next year. If this is done the
need OF beginning soon is apparent.
Prices should be allotted for all kinds
OF farm, garden, orchard and livestock
products, and for boys and girls pig
clubs, rabbit clubs, garden clubs and
poultry clubs. This should be done in
time to advertise 1t so that people can
prepare for the contests. The prem

spring so that prize winning crops
may be planted early. There was

spite the bad weather, several mem
bers OF farm bureaus being present.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the

represent the American labor organiza-

Mr.. Gompers said that his principal

regard to the organization of the
commission on international labor
legislation, which will meet in Wash

pressed the belief that during his trip

be greater than anything dreamed Of
in the past.

ONLY "FAIR DEAL" NECESSARY
No Reason for Politics to Figure In
Matter of Satisfying Workers
Reasonable Demands.

The biggest question in the world to-
day Is the labor question-how to give
a fair deal to and get fair deal from
labor; how to satisfy the reasonable
demands of the men and women who
do the worlds manual work and get
them in such a state Of mind that they
will not make unreasonable demands !;
how to keep labor power continually
applied to production at maximum eff
cheney. That, take it all around, is
the biggest question in the world.
1t is not a political question at all
or need not be. Comparatively little
political action of any sort Is neces-
sary to solve it, We can go right ahead
and solve it ourselves if we want to-.
Every employer and every workman
can do his own solving-far easier,
Surer and better than congresses, leg
islatures or soviets can solve for them.
If the men who do the employing and
working will just study, Open-minded-
ly, how to give a fair deal in their
own immediate relationships, the la
Dor question will solve itself. Political
Intervention is simply calling in law
yers and courts to settle a question
able boundary case that the parties
could settle themselves if they would
be fair, reasonable, conciliatory.
Don't wait for politics. Start solving
on your own hook.-Saturday Evening

BY RALPH COURTNEY.

The great trade union movement in
Britain, with it's 100000 members,
has decided to join forces with the
Union Of British Cooperative socie-
ties, with a membership of about A.
100000, in order to dominate produc-
tion, consumption and distribution in
Britain.
This amalgamation will represent
the greatest business combination in
history. 1t will dwarf, in power If not
in funds, the gigantic Federation Of
British Industries, with it's capital Of
$2OOOO,OOO,OOO
The new combination is organized
to fight such organizations as the Brit
ish federation. In it's international as
pect the combined trade union and CO.
operative movements will be the great
est enemy of "big business" interests
throughout the world.
In Britain alone the combined
unions would include nearly three
quarters Of the inhabitants. If the or
ganizers have their way it will be in
vincible in the industrial field.
1t is estimated that after allowing
for overlapping of membership the
combined movements control 100000
adult members. Close on 100000
families would support the trust and
each of these families would include
on an average two adults and three
children.
A joint advisory council of co-opera-
tors and trade unions has been consti-
tuted to draw up plan Of campaign
for the new organization.
Trade unions are to invest their
funds in the cooperative society, thus
supplying it with capital for increased
production. AS the result Of recent
meetings, over 200 unions have handed
their funds, amounting to $10,0O0,0OO,
to the co-Operators.
