Cooperation Fails in This
Country

There is only one reason why
the cooperative store establish
ed a year ago by and for the
benefit of department employees
in Washington has been obliged
to close it's doors and 60 out of
business. The conditions at the
national capital seemed to be
and were, highly favorable for
such an enterprise. A large
number of intelligent people, all
with small but steady incomes
appreciated the need of reduc-
INK their living expenses if they
could, and they knew from what
they had read about like expert
meDts abroad that really impor-
tant economies can be effected
in this way.
The prospect for them looked
much more hopeful than it did
for the little group of weavers
at Rochdale. who with q pitifully
small capital, taken penny by
penny from their deep poverty,
built up an enormous and widely
diversified trade, in which all the
profits as well as all the econo-
mics went to the members of the
organization. That effort at CO.
operative buying and selling all
the necessaries and some luxu-
ries Of life has gone on prosper
ously, year after year, and still
ID serving admirably the success
sors Of its originators.
In Belgium, and even In Rus
sia, Is well as in several other
European countries, cooperative
