and the industries in consequence
overrun by races physically weak, as,
for example, the Italian, unframed in
any industrial occupation as was prac-

you hear it said that before the
war man would lay 1900 bricks a
day. that in Chicago you could get
1000 bricks laid per man per day,
and that now 500 and 750 are all you
can get. The fact is that any state
ment which does not go beyond the
number of brick laid by a man in a
day does not convey any adequate in
formation.
ut all depends upon whether a
bricklayer was working on an 8-inch
wall, 16-inch wall, a 20-inch wall or
a 24-lnch wall, whether he was laying
to a line and filling in behind his own
work or whether he was laying to a
line and some one else was filling in
behind him, whether he was laying
face brick or building dead wall.

l,SO0 brick one day and lay 400 the
next day, and work harder on the 400

not the unit of the bricklayer's eff

in the bricklaying trade in the United
States since the war, which have come
to me, have never been accompanied
with definite data as to the width of

time-cost sheets that would confirm

Labor cost per unit of production
In any industry as expressed in
money, while interesting and econo-
mically important, is not illuminat-

The question as to whether the output
per man per hour in shoe factories has
increased or decreased since 1913 can
not be determined by the labor cost
per pair of shoes.

may be less efficient than it was 30

Cooperative Buying--It's Future

Notwithstanding the fact that the
idea Of cooperative buying in COM
munities has, during the past few
years, been given a decided forward
impetus in the United States, there
are today thousands in America who
are in total ignorance of the benefits
which are being obtained by many
through this legitimate method of
saving in their daily expenditures.
In 1918, there was organized in
America the National Cooperative
association, as a result of the first
national convention of the American
Cooperative societies in Springfield,
ILL.,, and the movement has spread
with considerable rapidly since
then. In England for many years,
especially under the auspices of the
English Cooperative Wholesale, the
plan has been widely utilized, and
today this latter organization has
been described as the largest food
supply establishment in the world,
one single purchase recently being
10000 acres of wheat land in Sas-
katchewan. During 1921, for in
stance, the 100000 members of the
$500 wholesale and cooperative So
cieties purchased nearly $3.50, 900, 900
worth of the necessities of existence
at net saving of more than 10 per-
cent to the consumers.
Elsewhere in Europe there also
are many such societies, to the ex-
tent, indeed, that the federation of
the national groups from most of the
countries of the continent numbers
IN its membership no fewer than
3O,OOO,OOO individuals. Even Iceland,
Burma, and Siberia have organized
societies to put into practice this
idea, and have found them decidedly
beneficial.
The plan is. of course, the simple
one of buying in wholesale lots in
stead of at retail, whereby, with
ordinary management, it has been
found that at least one-tenth of the
cost of the daily necessities can be
saved. 1t may be a surprise to some
to learn that at the present time
Iowa has 300 such societies, Penn
sylvania has 200, and Illinois. Mis-
SCUM, and Oklahoma each about 100.
And benefits are universally reported.
What will be the resultant, if the
progress that he movement of CO.
operative buying has been making of
late continues with as much vigor as
1t has shown Of late, it is difficult to
+ say. There are some, perhaps its
+ oNer-enthusiastie advocates, who
/ profess TO see therein a complete So
elal system, which, they say, is
destined to change the entire view

FAKE COOPERATIVE
AGAIN BECOMES
ACTIVE IN EAST

The fake cooperative" Society
of America, which defrauded the
workers of Illinois and several west
ern states out of millions of dollars
only year ago, has again reorgan-
ized under the direction of Harrison
Parker, one of the smoothest bunko
artists In the country, and has Just
invaded the state of Ohio to capture
the workers coin, reports the All
American Cooperative Commission
of Cleveland.
This society operated in Champaign
and Urbana last year, collecting a lot
of money, and was exposed by The
Review. Solicitors for the concern
were arrested, and it was forced to
cease operations.
The Cooperative Society of Ameri-
ca is not cooperative at all, say the
officials of the Cooperative Commits
sion, but a common law trust run by
three self-appointed trustees" who
have absolute power to manipulate the
business as they please and pocket
the workers money without even so
much as accounting for it. They are
not under bond; they hold office until
1910, and can then reappoint them
selves; and they are under no written
obligation TO return a cent of the
profits to shareholders at any time.
Indeed, this frenzied finance outfit has
been outlawed by three states, and
slipped into Ohio contrary to law
without the consent of the State
Securities Commissioner.
This fake COOPERATIVE" Society
went broke in Chicago last October
after going through over 1000, 900
of the workers money, without any
thing 10 show for it but 16c in the
treasury and a lot of check stubs for
which the trustees refused TO account.

NORMAL CONDITIONS
CANNOT BE OBTAINED
BY CUTTING WAGES

Salaries and wages, on the rail-
roads and elsewhere, are now so low
that it is impossible for workers to
maintain themselves in decency. So
says the Temple Trust CO., Temple,
Texas, in advertisements appearing
in newspapers over the signature of
its president, H. C. Glenn.
Other equally startling statements
startling because of their source
are:
Normal conditions cannot be OBJ
tanned by cutting wages.
When wages are cut everybody
loses-merchants, doctors, lawyers,
lumber dealers, wholesalers, factories,
banks, colleges, churches. 1.-THE whole
body suffer-" says the bank state
ment "for the profit of very few"
All kinds of labor are necessary,
therefore all kinds of labor are dig
nified, and those who perform it are
entitled to more than a mere living
wage.
Further wage cuts will not permit
home owning by employees, thus frus-
trating President Harding's expressed
hope.
The stability of the nation rests
not upon large fortunes wrung from
labor's distress, but upon the we'll be-
ing, the well feeding, the well edu-
eating, the well housing of the fam
lies whose service produces the ma
TONS wealth and the nations char
acter."

profession should unite to prevent
further disaster % by providing ade-
quately for its own employees and (2)

all unjust cuts of wages below the

helpful plan whereby the average in
dividual may be able to keep down
his daily expenditures. Certain it is
that any practical method whereby
the running expenses of the ordinary
family can be curtailed at least one
tenth appeals to almost everyone.
Certain it is also that, sooner or
later, this movement is likely to de-

ones relationship to what seems
destined to be such a world wide
activity, intelligently and with the

AS fast as the workers subscribed
for beneficial interests" in this or
ganization, the money was drained
out of the treasury for many ex-
penses into the pockets of the trus-
tees and the subsidiary corporations
which they organized.
The energetic action of the All
American Cooperative Commission
has halted the populations of this
fake cooperative in the state of
Ohio, but farm and labor unions in
neighboring states are warned by the
Commission to be on the lookout for
its agents, and to notify the national
headquarters of the Commission, En-
gineers Building, Cleveland, whenever
this alleged cooperative again raises
