SOVIET GEORGIA
TO BACK C0!-0PS
Little Caucasus Republic Sees
Benefit Of Cooperation.

Stories circulated In Ame erica about
the persecution" Of co.opperators
in the Soviet Republic Of Georgia
are disproved by reliable reports just
received by the An-American Co.
operative commission.
For nearly two years tho little re-
public in the Caucasus mountains
just south OF Russia has had a soviet
government modelled on tho Russian
pattern. Unfortunately this political
upheaval split the Georgian Coop
erative movement, some of the lead
ers having sought to overthrow the
now government. Stern measures
were taken against certain Of these
leaders, yet the cooperative move
mont itself was not only protected
by the now government. but has &C.
tually been favored In many ways.
At a time when all private banks
in Georgia were closed, the govern
ment gave full power to the Coop
erative Bank of Georgia to continue
its operations, and extended govern
ment credits to facilitate it's work.
Furthermore, all state organizations
are required to purchase goods from
cooperative organizations whenever
possible.
Contracts to private firms are per-
mitted only when cooperative stores
cannot supply the articles needed.
An immense advantage is accorded
co-operatives In foreign trade, since
they alone are permitted by the state
to engage in this important activity,
thus eliminating private profit in
the exchanging Of products with 9TH
or countries.
In brief, the investigations Of Eu-
ropean oo-operators prove that the
new soviet republics have officially
recognized the cooperative move
meHt as the only sound and stable
basis for a just and economic sys-
tenn.

TRICKY PUBLICITY AIDS

The mastery manner in which
publicity agents and prQpagandists
can conceal a fact while deadening
public opinion 10 illustrated in 4
special artiele> in the San Francisco
Chronicle on>tl,e Argonaut mine dis
aster. The article is headed "Criti-
cism Of Argonaut Mine Held I'm
just. Company Complied With Safe
ty Rules to Rxoteet Employees"
The writer first depicts the tend
ency Of the public to form hasty
judgments and assures his readers
that officers Of the Argonaut did
every thing possible to aid the res
cue-which is undoubtedly true. He
also states that II am convinced
there was, no NEGLECT or evasion OF
the prescribed safety rules
After these impressions are made
on the reader-impressions that ara
intended to stick--the writer con.
vludes his story with this statement:
"In 1919 only - sfeet> separated
drifts in the Argonaut and Kennedy
properties: These drifts were per-
luALleQ ~ cave Ill HHu NO dIItlllpt
was made to clear them out. The ore
bodies had been worked out and the
only possible reason for maintaining
a connection between the two mines
would have been thought for the
safety of the employees. Had these
drifts been clear the rescue work
would have been comparatively sim
pie. The Jackson miners would
probably have escaped"
No indictment Of the company
could be stronger than this state
ment. written by one whose clear
purpose is to defend the company
and create in the public mind an
alibi for mine owners
The writer also makes the signifi-
cant statement that several mines
in this state have auxiliary exits,
but in every instance save one
these shafts were sunk for develop
ment Of >ore bodies and not, in the
interest of the workers."

A "P|G-IRON" EDUCATOR

Samuel Hayden Church is the lat
est individual who would calm the
industrial Sc. by few magic passes.
Mr.. Church is president of Car
negie Institute and he retains the
atm osphere of pig iron In dis
cussing thV trade unio: movement
in the New York Times He says IA
Dor should secure the ablest brains
in the nation for its guidance" and
Mr.. Hughes for the job. II these gem
tlemen or not available, he himself
will accept the presidency of the A.
F. Of l..
Mr.. Chur.h, in effect, proclallns
that if the workers want real
'leader" they have but to look to an
educational institution that reminds
them Of Homestead and .Pinkerton
detectives. To prove that he will be
a "leader" Of the drill sergeant type
he tells what he will do with my"
men and with my" treasury.
This educator brings joy to every
union ssmasher by his denial of
President Gompers' claim that
there is a conspiracy to destroy Or
ganized Tabor. President Harding
sustained this charge in the follow
ing portion Of his recent message to
congress-:
I'm the weeks of patient CONFER
ence and attempts at settlement COT

praise another element in the en-
crossing ind7, ,strial dispute at which
it is only fair to take cogn zance. 1t
is in some degree responsible for
the strikes, and his hinrered at
tcmpts at adjustment. refer to the
war on the unions OF labor"
The chief executives statement
means nothing to Educ tor Church,
who says:
1T is a curious mental process
that brings Mr.. Gompers to this il
logical and absurd conclusion.
*'' There is no plot; there is no
conspiracy" Z
And then he good man proves the
need for educating pig-iron educa-
tors by his statement that the goal
ofof the unions is ''the confiscation
Of property" the "overthrow Of gov
ernment," ETC., etc.
