COOPERATIVE PLAN

Let Workmen Share In Profits and Minimize Unrest, Davies
 Recommends
By Associated Press

New York. September 21-Transforma- tion of the familiar company store'' operated in connection with industrial plants into a cooperative institution in which workers may share the profits was declared today to be one of the best stabilizers of labor by Hymel Davies, federal commissioner or cancellation, ap- bearing before the United States Senate committee on reconstruction and produc- tion in session here.
 He asserted that the "antipathy of the workers against company stores is based on the feeling that it is giving back to the bosses part of their earnings" With this idea removed. he said. the "migra- tory habits of labor, especially assong the miners of the west" will be mate- rially checked.
 Mir. Davies. who has been connected with industrial disturbances as a con- ciliator for thirty-five years. said in sev- eral instances he had presented the ob- jections of the men to employers with the result that the stores were operated on the profit-sharing basis.
 Discussion of the cooperative store plan today was in connection with the Senates investigation into the postal savings system with view to it's possi- ble division. MT. Davies told the com mittee that his many years experience with miners showed that the same an- tipathy existing against company stores pertains to company banks and that the

 The man with a savings fund will not impair it by striking without q good, sufficient cause" said MT. Davies. ''Nor would be he so ready to move ex- eept when he feels is for the better and he would have greater tendency to find an anchorage and home"
 He recommended that the postoffice department establish branch savings banks near large plants, keeping them open on pay days and one or two days thereafter. Adoption of convenient bank ing arrangements for deposit and with drawal with enough interest to make the worker feel he is getting a square deal'' would quickly restore confidence, ducing the expensive turnover at plants.

VICIOUS HURRICANE HEADED FOR TEXAS Birmingham May Get Edge Saturday, Indicated By
 Cooler Weather

Reports from the Gulf of Mexico and the gulf coast denote that the storm which is moving northwestward in the gulf Is coming with considerable force and energy, E. c. Horton of the loca. weather bureau announced last night.
 It will probably hit the gulf coast west of New Orleans in the next few hours.
 MT. Horton received a wireless warn ing sent out by District Forecaster Bowie at Washington last night which read as follows:
 Pressure is falling along the gulf coast from Mobile to Corpus Christi, with the greatest change over eastern Texas and the western Louisiana coast. The disturbance continues to move northwestward and conditions remain threatening over the district already warned"
 Birmingham will feel some wind. though there will be no damage from the disturbanee.n said MT. Horton. The principal effect which this city will mo- tiee will be the fall in temperature which will follow the storm when the winds have veered to the northwest"
 The above report is supplementary to one sent out yesterday and denotes that the storm is in the same region, but is moving nearer in all the time.
 The storm was first observed south west of Cuba last Sunday night and was at that time headed toward Mex ico Later it yeered northward in the direction of the Texas coast.
 As the storm aDDrOaches the coas it will yeer northeastward so there is no telling where it will hit. but indi- cations are at present that it will come inland west of New Orleans" said Mir Horton
