The labor union and others were
stockholders in this enterprise. A
committee Of tho stockholders made
q report to the board Of directors
showing that from Jan. 1. 1915, to
Jan 4, 1917. goods bought amounted
to 39,167 and the receipts were $780,
SIS. Tho expenses were 1889; that
$3.50 had been loaned to members
and that &85 OF this had been paid
back. The cash on hand was $1S.3s.
This report OF the committee of
the stockholders is n part Of the re-
cord OF the case in the bankruptcy
proceedings that followed. The fig
urss are cold facts right here at home.
The statement of the condition Of the
business on Jan /. 1917 made by a

assets amounting to 32.S07.70, which
included accounts due, $1.257; FIX

and cash on hand, 1888. The liabili-
ties amounted to 3s.220.19, including
duo on stock. s2,s60.19: due on loans,
$2,l66. This shows n deficit as of
Jan /. 1917, amounting to 3s.412.4s.

Some Cooperative Store History

d. h Tanner from somewhere has
been working In the Tri- Cities for
the last six weeks attempting 10
convince enough workingmen that
they ought to put up tho capital for
one more local experiment in the
operation Of cooperative store. 1t
Is presumed. Of course. that Mr..
Tanner has fully laid before these
people his credentials and proofs Of
his s,bility. but II he has not done 10
every man before he signs his name
and pays his money for q share in
the cooperative store, which Tam
ner hopes to establish. ought to know
who Mr.. Tanner 10 and what he gets
out Of all the effort ne IL putting into
the thing. It may be accepted ~ q
trui.m that neither Mr.. Tanner nor
the other fellows who are active in
that enterprise are working for their
health or for the love Of the down
trodden people" Of whom they talk
so slibly.
It is easy enough to talk about CO.
operative enterprises In Europe, or In
Seattle. or at some far-off place. But
Davenport workingmen and Scott
county farmers do not have to 90
to England or to the Pacific to get
factal In regard to such enterprises.
ws have had experience with CO.
operative stores right here In Daven-
port. It will BE- recalled that the
Scott County Mercantile association
was a farmer owned store. 1t ran
along for time and got into trouble
because, even tho the farmers have
the best credit on earth, the store
itself proved that what Is everybody's
busne is nobody's business. Lack
OF interest in the enterprise by the
stockholders themselves and lack OF
capital to buy in the right way ulti-
mat ely put the business on the rocks
II las finally decided to wind up the
affairs of the company. The creditors
tool: charge to save what they could
and by careful management were
able to pay so cents on the dollar OF
debts owed by the company. The men
who owned the stock lost all the
money they had put In for stock. The
stockholders didn't get q cent.
Another such enterprise was the
Union cooperative. organized under
the laws Of Iowa and operated al
2sOA Fifth avenue, Rock Island. The
manager was William N. Fetreof. 1t
ran along for a time and got into
financial difficulties in April, 1917.

THE sHoPnEN HAVE THEIR SAY.

Railroad shopmen. readlng tho ooA
.orial OF May II in which a railroad
,,mploye was quoted - to the diner
,,nce q change from a nine-hour day
10 one OF eight hours would make IN
Ills monthly pay check. protest that
'.he statement that tho cut of time
would cost tho mechanic $40 month
10 q misstatement and untrue. the
sfiopmen say that tho most tho
best mechanics in the railroad shops
can make in the extra hour - WI
and that the s27 represents time ana
q half rate. They say that they are
working the ninth hour as against
the schedule OF eight hours In order
to avoid any limiting of production
ana that the ninth hour is over and
above the eight hour schedule which
union labor il pledged to, maintain.
They explain that they do not de-
sire the public to gain an impression
that railroad shopmen are being
oyerpaid for their work or that they
wish to limit production.
/ The Times Republican II glad to
give their statement the same pub
lefty as was given the assertion OF
the railroad employe first quoted.
It Is due to say that the person nrst
quoted u not, 80 far as Its informa-
ton extends. . railroad shopman.
In the conversation they had with
the editor the shopmen said much
more. They declared themselves for
the square deal between themselves
and the public and against extreme
radicalism. They deplored what
seems q tendency to assume that
labor is unpatriotic and utterly
selfish and point to the subscriptions
to liberty bonds made by shopmen In
war time. "All we want IL profit
able wage" said one of the spokes-
men, "a wage that will permit W to
have respectable things Of life and
save something for age and It seems
to us that we have q right to that"
The TER. il glad to give the shop
men their day in court at any time
for the expression Of their ssnti-
ments ana their arguments. How
ever the mention Of the assertion
made by the railroad employe ~ to
$40 per month was incidental to the
argument Of the editorial referred to.

Aside from the mere question OF
