GOT US BEAT A MILE
IN COOPERATION

The Wall Street Journal very
kindly advises the workers that they
should not attempt to lower the
cost of living by cooperative mer-
chandising trade which it brands
as signal failure"
If the Wall Street Journal can
stop listening to the stock exchange
ticker long enough to write to the
Bureau of Markets of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, it will learn
that there are more than 10000 CO.
operative societies in the United
States, besides several hundred thou
sand in Europe, successfully doing
business running into billions of
dollars every year. If the princi-
pie of cooperation is such signal
failure" we wonder why the Wall
Street bankers work so nicely as a
unit in fixing money rates, or CO.
operate with foreign financiers in
dragging China, Mexico and other
weak nations under their economic
control for exploitation through
dollar diplomacy" Our own guess
is that the International of Finance
has every Labor international beat
a mile when it comes to ose-knit
cooperation and united action.
We hope you get the idea: if the
workers and farmers cooperate and
establish direct exchange between
producers and consumers, it means
signal failure" for the gang of
spectators, exploiters and middle
men around Wall Street who fatten
off the wealth created by the pro-
ducing classes.

Labor Movement
For Free Ireland

That the labor movement in
America is destined to become the
center of activity in the matter of
demanding freedom for the people
of Ireland, is the belief of T. j.
Wind, secretary of the Labor Blu
reau of the American Commission
on Irish Independence in state
ment recently given out by him.
Mr.. Wind has recently communi-
Gated with the $50 Central Labor
Councils in the United States, re-
questing that they appoint volun,
tary committees to cooperate with
the Labor Bureau, to make effective
the resolution of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, adopted at its con-
vention in Montreal, pledging sup
port to the Republic of Ireland.
The promptness with which these
labor bodies have responded to such
request, and the letters which have
been received from the labor press
the country over, furnish conclusive
evidence Of the rapidly growing SEN
timent favorable to Ireland's cause,
and of the willingness of such bod
les and such press to cooperate in
every way possible to gain for her
five millions of sufferers, that lib
erty and freedom, SO essential to
human happiness.
The heroic death of Terence Nc
Swiney has appalled, thinking people
all over the world. The fight of
the Irish people has been the admir-
alton of all peoples. The terrorism,
tyranny, murder-the awful atroci-
ties being committed daily in Ire
land by the imperialist government
of England, have aroused the ire of
freemen everywhere, and made
stain upon the flag of England that
years alone can not erase
Many are the instances recorded
of cold-blOoded murder of unarmed
people, the burning Of towns and
villages, dragging from bed in the
dead of night, young men, to be
shot to death in the presence of
their aged parents, wives and sis
tiers, committed by savage hirelings
of the English government. The in
human treatment thus inflicted on
the people of Ireland has so rein
forced the power of moral influence
in the world as to challenge forever
the power of governments to rule
through physical force.
Such is the American workman's
love Of fair play, that he cannot
well enjoy his right of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, while
his brothers in Ireland are compelled
to endure the terrible oppression i'm
posed upon them by English militar-
lists. "If America wants it, Ireland
can be free"

Disseminated against, is as much
denial of the right of collective
action as the anti-union shop.
"Tn neither is the collective. acton
of the employees permitted Tor the
purpose of negotiating in reference
to labor conditions. Both in theory
and practice, in the absence of legls-
lative regulations, the working con-
ditions are fixed by the employer
1t is evident, then, that there can
be at best only a benevolent des-
potism, where collective action on
the part of the employees does not
exist
"The Commission after thorough
investigation has shown that where
the right of collective action is de-
MED, freedom does not exist, either
politically, industrially or socially,
and that the fibre of manhood Will
inevitably be destroyed by the con.
tinuance of the existing situation.
On the other hand, after searching
investigation, it was established that
in those industries where collective
action existed, the material condi-
tions of the workers are on gener-
ally higher plane that where workers
are unorganized,' and that the frlc-
ton which exists in such industries
and establishments has been reduced
rather than increased by organiza-
ton"

Catholics in the presene OF this
manifest drive of reactionary en-
ployers on the principle of collective
bargaining and it's means of appll-
cation, labor unionism, seems evil

challenge to those whose sense of
social justice is developed What
ever may be the defects of organ
lied labor. and they are many, they
are neither more numerous nor more
fatal than the defects of organized
capital. Whatever inconvenience
that vague entity the public has
been subjected to by organized la
Dor, they are no greater, if as great,
as those which have been saddled
upon it by organized capital. In
any case, we can not afford to sit by
and calmly watch the attempts to
reduce the laborers of this country
to industrial impotence. Not only is
the cause of labor at stake, but the
cause of democracy as well. For
uncontrolled capitalism is industrial
absolutism, and when that stage is
fully reached political democracy is
dead"

CATHOLIC VIEW
OF "OPEN SHOP"

The Square Deal says in a recent
issue of the San Antonio Southern
Messenger, the following article ex-
pressing a Catholic view of the So
called "open shop" was published,
which could not be more forcibly ex-
pressed and is so glaringly true, if
it were the work of the most ardent
union advocate of the union shop.
1t is full of truth, and refutes the
charge that the "open shop" en-
courages independence and freedom
of the employees, as made by the
open shoppers"
The article follows:
The question of the "open shop"
has been forced upon the people of
this country by recent developments
in the long drawn out controversy
between labor and capital. 1t is one
that our readers-that all citizens
indeed-should study in order that
they may form just conclusions upon
which to base their political action.
In these circumstances we deem it
appropriate to give Catholic view
of the question at issue. This is
taken from the recent number of
America" the weekly review pub
lished by the Jesuit Fathers, and is
from the pen of the Rev. Ignatius
w. Cox, S. j. He writes, in part:
"This zeal of employers for the
open shop is a smoke-screen behind
which they are waging a battle to
destroy the workers organization,
without which collective bargaining
is impossible. 1t is drive to dis
organize labor. Here it is well to re-
member a fact, which most people
seem to overlook, that the employers
are reserving to themselves a right
to organization and collective action
of which they seem determined to
deprive the workers. There has been
progressive and nationwide organi-
cation Of employers in associations
for collective action, which are many
times more powerful than the or
CARNATIONS of workers. These asso-
Citations have at their disposal great
resources, powers of reserve and
ability to endure against strike, can
summon mighty forces from all
parts of the country, and can afford
to spend such sums in conflict, that
with the national organization of la
Dor destroyed, they would enjoy an
industrial absolutism complete and
irresistible. There was an example
of their power last year, when man
ufacturers threatened to boycott the
districts of the striking coal miners.
The Commission on Industrial
Relations found that many employ
els who held to the theory of the
open shop. did not, as rule, know
ingly or willingly employ union
men, Yet it deemed this a minor
point. For us it shows that the

FARMERS AND WORKERS
COMBINE IN ONTARIO
lCOntrihutedl


The food spectators, middlemen
and other profiteering parasites are
getting some hard jolts up in the
Province of Ontario, Canada. The
city workers and the farmers have
at last come to realize their identi-
cal interests in the common strug-
gle for freedom from exploitation.
Their weapon is cooperation, the
one sure method of eliminating the
graft which bleeds both the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
The United Farmers Cooperative
Company of Ontario began by cut
ting out the middleman in the meat
business. They sold live stock di-
rect from the farmer with such
success that they now control one
third of the business of the big
Toronto stock yards, with turn
over that will total $5,000,000 for
1920. Such an achievement caused
the farmers to ask themselves:
Since the farmer produces the food
which the town worker must eat,
and the town worker produces ar
ticles essential to life on the farm,
why can they not be brought togeth-
er through consumers cooperative
stores in the larger cities and towns
of Ontario? So the farmers secured
an expert manager, bought out a
large wholesale house in Toronto,
and are now operating a string of
stores that are piling up a business
of $10,000,000 a year. Their ulti-
mate goal is to put consumers
cooperative store into every town
and village in the province as
binding link between the farmer and
the town worker. This will soon put
an end to the extortion of monopoly
prices from the producing classes
for the necessities Of life which they
themselves have produced.
A significant result of the farm
er-labOr cooperative movement in
Ontario has been to draw these
workers into a close political ALI
ance. Once two groups recognize
that they have common economic in
terests, it is not a long step to
political solidarity. The farmer-la-
Dor group has As candidates in the
field for the coming provincial cleo
ton, with splendid prospects for
victory in a majority of the dis
trlcts. Not only in Ontario, but in
every European country where the
producing classes have come into
political power, economic co-opera-
ton preceded unity at the polls
When men learn to cooperate as
producers and consumers, they soon
come to vote together for the com
mon welfare.
