ROCHDALE COOP.
PLAN Is URGED
Workers Warned to Shun
Many of Other Alleged
Schemes
HnnHHH

Chicago. Rochdale system is
the only one that expresses the spirit
OF cooperation, writes Editor Bland,
of the Union Leader, official magazine
of organized street car men.
The labor editor warns workers to
shun the many alleged cooperative
schemes that are being advertised by
promoters who never intend to give
all who participate in them an equal
share in the proceeds of the business.
Under the Rochdale plan of CO.
operation there are certain fundamen-
tai principles which must be observ-
ed in the organizing and promotion
of cooperative societies, Among these
are the following Limited dividends;
one vote for each shareholder, no mat
ter how many shares he has purchas-
ed; no proxy votes; no goods sold on
credit; all goods sold at retail prices;
proper provision for reserve and edu-
cational funds, and the distribution
of profits based upon the amount
spent in purchases. Any cooperative
plan that does not include these fun
damental principles is not real coop
Grafton and cannot succeed. EXper
fence has proved the truth Of this.
