We are at the close of another
year and the birth of another year.
We have lived through a year of
tremendous eventfulness and we
face year of solemn portent. Dur
ing the year that is to come the
issue, boiled to it's essence, will be
progress against reaction. At the
close of 1920 the American Fedora
ton of Labor is an organization of
100000 men and women. 1t is an
organization of fighting spirit,
ready for the struggle ahead.
The workers have need to be alert
and militant, for never in the his
tory of the American labor move
ment has plutocratic greed pre-
sented such an organized menace to
democratic progress.
We find at this moment, not one
danger, but several. Conferred in a
propaganda which is profitable to
those who conduct it, there is a
movement under way to break down
the organizations of the workers
through the establishment of the
non-union shop, miscalled by its
sponsors the "open shop" This
movement has for its aim the de-
struction of labor's voice, the de-
struction of joint relations between
workers and employers, the destruc-
ton of the whole structure of col
lective bargaining and joint agree
ments which has brought so much
of democracy into the industrial life
of our people. There is further the
effort to carry the affairs of in
dustry into the realm Of politics
through the establishment of various
kinds of governmental tribunals and
boards, which aim to make real col
lective bargaining impossible and
to make the relations between work
ers and employers an endless liti-
CATION, the consequences of which
would prove a disaster of the first
magnitude.
Added to this is the heartless de-
termination of many powerful en-
ploying interests to reduce wages
and to stop the wheels of production
entirely in many cases, resulting in
great unemployment.
These are all issues that are be-
fore the workers of America. They
are, in fact, issues that are before
the whole people, but they are of
primary Importance to the workers
because they mean to the workers
everything that makes for life and
liberty in a democracy.
The great forces of reaction, of
greed, of organized plutocracy, have
thrown their challenge into the
arena. This challenge is backed by
power. No meekness of spirit, no
smiling. countenance of moderation
will serve to meet this brutal chal-
lenge. For this hour there is needed

Cooperation in
Phoenix, Arizona

January l, 1921.
Papers were signed on December a
by which the Pacific Cooperative
League secured a five-year lease on
three-story building on Adams
street, one of the principal business
streets of Phoenix, Ariz.
This is the biggest event in the CO.
operative movement in Arizona.
Phoenix, the largest city and capital
of the state, has for several months
been organizing for league store.
While the work of organization has
been going forward the problem of
securing a suitable location has pre-
scented itself as a serious one. 1t was
felt that the "open-shoppers" would
try to prevent the co-ops from get
ting a desirable place for the store.
AS is always the case, some men,
bers have shown Impotence at the
delay in contracting for a location
and getting into business. But the
delay has proved to be for the best,
Labor Temple for the working peo-
pie and the co-operatives of Phoenix.
Nothing could be more desirable than
to have the cooperative store and
the trades unions occupying the same
building and in every way possible to
consolidate the workers in their eff
forts to build for better conditions.
The building leased was formerly
a flour mill and is the property of
Mrs. l.. Gardener, whose husband was
one of the pioneers of Phoenix. Mrs.
Gardener owns the entire block on
which the building is located and has
for seven years leased to the labor
unions their present quarters on the
opposite side of the block on Wash
ington street. She is an enthusiastic
supporter of the labor movement and
on signing the lease made this re-
mark:
when l leased to the labor
unions seven years ago l made
up my mind that l would keep
them in my block or die in the
attempt. l want to fix this build
ing now so that the cooperative
store and the unions will stay
here for years to come. I'm not
going to make any money on
this lease. My banker told me
| was foolish to lease the place
at such a low rate for the five
years. But | believe l know
what l am doing. / can see that
this cooperative business is
going to be one of the biggest
things in Phoenix and l will get
a return out of it on the in
creased value it will bring to the
balance of my property on
Adams street. l want you people
to make this the biggest business
in Phoenix and l am willing to
help in any way can"
Work will begin at once on re-
modelling the building, which will
take five or six weeks. The cost of
remodeling will be close to $4,000.
An enthusiastic group which had
gathered about while the building
was being inspected by Mr. Ames,
president of the league, and the local
committee, proposed that they take
up collection at once to have a big
sign painted across the side of the
building so that it would be seen the
whole length of Adams street, West.
The sign will read:

Balanced RatiOns
Home Grown Feeds

Balancing" stock rations is as
simple as setting up wagon or
adjusting a carburetor. A cart is
anced" when it has one tongue to
to two wheels, and wagon is bal
anced" when it has one tonghe to
four wheels. Just so, very young
stock need one pound of protein to
three pounds of carbohydrates;
half grown stock need one pound of
protein to four of five of carbo-hy-
drates; grown stock need only one
pound of protein to six of carbo-
hydrates. Any excess of either is
wholly unused and goes to the ma
nure pile, with more or less damage
to the animal. How foolish to have
an extra tongue or wheel always
dragging along behind your wagon.
1t is equally foolish to feed either
too much protein or too much car
bo-hydrates. Too rich a gas mixture
will heat your engine, foul your
spark plugs, cylinders and valves.
A standard ration, for a cow giving
40 lbs. of milk is: Hay, 10 lbs;
ensilage, 80 lbs; grain, II lbs; all
balanced" to a ration of l to 6.
A foolish farmer will send to Ne
braska for his corn; to Yakima for
his alfalfa and to some end-of- the
earth place for his ensilage. But
wise farmer will either grow or
have his neighbors grow his feed,
thus saving $15 to $50 per ton
freight and commissions. Most

pounds Of oat hulls per ton (called
oat by-products). A newspaper ar

THE SCARCITY OF
 WOOD PRODUCTS

The American people are cutting wood cut of their for ests three or four times as fast as the supply is being grown. This produces scarcity in the basic essentials of life.
 A large part of the pros- perity of this country has been created by the former abun- dant and cheap supply of wood products. In Europe they depleted most of their supply of wood many years ago. Consequently European cities are largely built of stone, brick, cement, etc, at a higher cost than the Ameri- can town, which is largely built of wood.
 One reason for popular in- telligence in this country, js that the abundant wood SUD- ply formerly permitted the manufacture of paper pulp at very low price. This made it possible to distribute great quantities of cheap paper for use in newspapers, maga- zines, and books. This has made popular education through the printed page available to the humblest family.
 The high prices of the past three years in lumber, paper pulp, etc. reveal how these products have been wasted. Forest fires have burned up these essential materials with inconceivable rapidity, and careless numbering has in- creased the waste.
 You can burn up in one night timber enough to build
