THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT

of the first prizes of cooperative achievement. The farmers in the western and northern states and the foreign industrial workers in all parts of the country carried the movement forward until 1916, since when CO., operation has proceeded everywhere by leaps and bounds.
 According to the league, over 5000 true consumers cooperative societies are now operating stores. In some To- cations the purchasing power of groups of societies has become so great that they have federated and organized wholesale societies. In western Pennsylvania a federation of seventy societies. known as the Tri- State Cooperative society, whose mem- bership embraces many nationalities, including Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Italians and Bohemians, is crowding hard upon private business in the handling of groceries, meats, dry goods, shoes, feed and automobile supplies. This society maintains a wholesale branch, with a warehouse in Pittsburg, but so great are the de- mands upon 1t that it can supply the local cooperative societies only within the radius of fifty miles. Tn Illinois several cooperative societies operated by miners are doing business of three million dollars year. In Seattle the | cooperatives not only run a store, but | they operate their own market, cold | storage plant slaughter house and | packing establishment.
 Thus, quietly, like a great river, as a member of the league poetically puts 1t, the current of cooperation sweeps
 on. It is impossible to tell where or
 when it will stop.
