STORE EMPLOYEES
GIVEN HOME RULE
Workers in Big New York
Plant Have Voice in
Management.

NEW YORK, September 6-The re-
publican form of government for en-
ployes, introduced in certain in
dustrial plants throughout the coun-
try, has been adopted by large New
York department store.
Employees of this store numbering
Loo, have voice in virtually all
matters affecting their relations with
the management. through elective
bodies modelled after the bicameral
system of representation prevailing
! in the government of the United
States.
Elect Representatives.
The employees elect members of their
house OF representatives and senate
directly, while the executive depart
ment. consisting of cabinet of five.
IS named by the corporation officials
| The judiciary functions are carried
out by a joint Justice committee from
the legislative bodies. All branches
| of the store government derive their
powers from a constitution somewhat
similar to the Constitution of the ma :
tion.
The fixing of wage scales and work
ing conoltlons are included in the
broad powers of the house and SEN
| ATE, while the justice committee may
orlng about the expulsion of an en-
ploye from the concern, or if it
| finds a worker has been unjustly dis
! charged it can have him reinstated.
The acts of the Legislature NAV be
vetoed by the cabinet. but this has
not been necessary as yet, it was said
by officials of the concern.
Improve Store Service.
Improvement of the service render
ed by the store to it's customers is the

acted by the workers, but the better

which convene one day each week
RAISING much of the responsibility
for the conduct of the institution
onto the shoulders of the EMPLOYEES
has brought about MANY improve
ments, most of them originating in
suggestions which are made to the
suggestion committee of the house
and senate at the rate of more than
nifty week. Employees are paid cash
prizes for all suggestions put into
use, and no suggestion is rejected un-
til an investigation has been made
by the committee

Grating expense. merit system
mas been inaugurated by the work
ers, grades for each employe being
made out monthly on basis of their
ability, experience and cooperative
work.
As soon as this industrial democ-
racy plan has gone beyond its in
fancy, its originators hope to take
the public into the organization in
some way. Already observance of
the wishes of customers by employees
has resulted in bills directed toward
shopping more pleasant and
suggestions for other changes are ex-
pected to come Rom outside the store

ing from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. !"
says communication to the National
Geographic Society. issued as the third
in a series of bulletins on Where Our
Imports Come From"
This consumption now perhaps is
nearer 3,000,000,0 900 pounds, and in
the United States alone AZ per cent
more coffee was drunk during the
ceding twelve months.
Three-fourths Of the worlds coffee
is grown in Brazil, a country that has

two continents using nearly four-fifths
OF all the coffee the world produces.
Holland Drinks Most.
Holland is the greatest Coffee

10 u pounds per capita annually, while
we use Is pounds. Germany, SIS

less than one pound of tea per capita.
where the /. United Kingdom uses
nearly seven pounds. Canada is about
two-thirds English and one-third
American in it's use of coffee and tea
it shows a decided preference for the
tea, but drinks less of it than the
mother country. making up the differ
ence with coffee. The Germans and
the o-Hungarians use only a
negligible quantity Of tea.
The coffee plant is a shrub which,
under cultivation, grows from four to
six feet high. In it's wild state it
grows three or four times as high as
in it's cultivated state. The dwarfing
of the plant increases the crop and
facilitates picking. The leaves are
of fresh green color; the flowers
are white and have an odor strongly
resembling jasmine.

cherries turn crimson on ripening
They are then picked. the pulp is
taken off by machinery. and the two
husks which lie between the pulp
and the seeds themselves are re-

oughly dried before the husks can be
taken off. and on many plantations
there are whole acres of concrete
