How Cooperative Societies
Function in Soviet Russia

| operative societies in the highest es-
TEEN. BY a special decree in March,
1919, the Moscow authorities turned
over the distribution of all goods
to the cooperative societies for re-
distribution to the people. The
whole population of the country
practically 100000 is now
listed in the books of various CO
operative societies. Anyone not
listed cannot receive any goods in
| Russia.
1.-THE administration of local So
cieties is in the hands Of local con-
sumers. Those living on the work of
other assembly of consumers, which
elects participate. The supreme ad-
ministration of the society is the
general rocket of Professor Goddard,
of Clark its members. In small
towns there Is but one assembly. The
larger towns are divided into dis
tricts.
Apart from the distribution of
food products the societies have to
open up restaurants and meeting
halls; they can set up housing quar-
tiers, reading rooms, clubs and libra
ries. They receive from the execu-
tive committee all possible help.
The consumers societies can organ
ize their own production. They are
free to set up factories, bakeries and
slaughter houses. They have the
ambition of undertaking in the near
future the administration of various
public services, such as public bath
ing establishments and laundries and
even the electric and water supply
stations. A central union groups to-
gether all the societies in the
country. This central union works
in close collaboration with the COM
missariat of agriculture and food
supply and with the superior Soviet
Of National economy, in which it is
represented.

RUHR BUCAB0O
in GERMANY AGAIN
Newspapers Claim That
French Have Spies
/. in District

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-Germany's
Ruhr bugaboo which formerly fright
ened only the pessimistic royalists,
is beginning to shake the nerves OF
the entire German press. The ar
rest OF salesman, Willy Kuehl, who
gave his address as Brussels, has led
the Berlin newspapers to announce
the discovery Of widespread French
spy system intended to prepare the
way for French occupation of the
Ruhr.
Kuehl, so the story goes, was ar
rested by the Reichwehr in Muehl-
helm a. d. Ruhr, because he showed
too much curiosity about the poll
tical opinions of Reichswehr soldiers.
When Kuehl was searched number
Of blank forms printed in the French
language were found in his pockets.
Under the heading General CUES
tions," the following information
was requested:
Railroad station and railroad yard
plans and exact information about
the Reichswehr, Sicherheitswehr and
Einwohnerwehr; that is, the army,
security police and civilian guards.
Under the heading Political In
quiries" were the sub titles: Attitude
Of the working classes, especially the
communists, Independent socialists
and majority socialists. What is
their attitude to the Reichswehr, the
Sicherheitswehr and the Einwohntr-
wehr? Especially, how would the
workmen and the leaders: that is,
the engineers, the directors, etc.,
take the occupation of the Ruhr Ba-
sin by the Entente? Would they &C
cept it? Would they be able to re-
sist and in what manner and to what
degree? Have preparations already
been made by the laborers?
After this come questions as to
the name, position and influence of
the federal and municipal officials.
Which are hostile to the allies, and
which would be amenable and friend
ly in case Of an eventual occupa-
ton? Are there German patriotic
organizations? If so, give the names
and addresses of the leading person.
alities.
After this follows a number of
questions regarding the industrial
conditions, food and coal supplies,
warehouse rooms, etc.
This proves absolutely that the
French do not hesitate to spy out
the smallest details in the territory
on which they have set their heart"

No Change in
Wool Situation
Over Country

WASHINGTON.-The federal re-
serve boards monthly review of bust
ness conditions fails to disclose any
material change in the wool situa.
ton. In Boston district prices OF
raw wool have dropped and there
have been some sales, but not in
large quantities, mostly domestic
wool on consignment basis. British
wool and government wool entered
into Boston sales during September.
There was some stimulation in wool
trade due to cut in price made by
American Wooden company, but de-
mand from the buying public con-
tinues light. The fact that stocks
in dealers hands are low is looked
upon as justifying the hope that re-
vival of activities cannot be indefi-
nitely delayed.
In Philadelphia the "entire wooden
industry is showing signs of recov-
cry" says the report and some mills
that have been closed are starting
up. ION the Pacific coast trading
in wool has recently shown more ac-
tivity than at any time since May"
continues the report, "and many OPP
orators believe the low level has
been reached and that trading will
be more active from now on"
Only "a per cent of the far west
ern wool clip of S1,000,000 pounds
has been sold, the balance being
consigned to warehouses.

(By International News Service)
PARIS.-An interesting story Of
development Of cooperative societies
in Russia under the Soviet revolu-
tionaries was told by Marcel Cachin.
French Communist leader, who has
just returned from Russia. Even in
the days of Tsarism and despite gov
eminent opposition the development
Of cooperative societies in Russia
was considerable. During that
period there were consumers So
cieties, small industrial and agricul-
tural co-operatives and their finan-
cial position was excellent. Their
membership was counted in millions.
"Since the revolution of October,
1917" said Mr.. Cachin, disagree
ments have arisen between Bolshe-
viks and Socialists of various ten
denotes, both of which parties have
different ideas as to the role of the
co-operatives. 1t is necessary for us
to 60 into the cause of these diff
ferences and we should simply look
at the results attained by the
societies.
Everyone knows that when they
took over the government of Russia
the Soviet revolutionaries decreed
and realized the appropriation of
land property. The greater part Of
the land they gave to small agricul-
turists. But everywhere where they
thought it practical and possible they
grouped together the families of ten,
twenty and even thirty peasants and
gave the group large tracts of land
to be exploited for the benefit Of the
cooperative societies.
'The already existing societies were
not interfered with by the Soviets.
The large industrially exploited So
cieties were nationalized and today
belong to the state, represented by
the union of workers.
