URBANA COUNCIL
TO GIVE TRIAL TO
MOTOR BUSES

Urbana is, in the estimation of
many local unionists, taking a pro-
gressive step, in the direction of u
better town, BY granting a 30-day
franchise to a motor bus line which
proposes to show the up-to-dateness
Of this method Of transportation as
compared to the present rattlety bang
contraptions now being run over the
streets of both cities.
With the advent of the gas-driven
car, the old-fashioned electric car
and tracks, with their dangerous and
unsightly overhead electric wires are
as much out of date today as the
mule-drawn vehicle was considered to
be few years ago.
And then, there is the item of Civ
ing privately-owned corporation the
middle of the principal streets, which
they dominate at will. claim the right
to use without franchise, and holding
up public Improvements on the streets
upon which the lines are operated.
High fares and poor service, limited
to certain districts are another fea-
ture of the electric lines.
1t is hoped Champaign will follow
the lead of Urbana, and, instead of
granting a long-term franchise to a
privately-owned corporation to run
their antiquated machinery over the
streets, adopt the up-to-date method,
municipality owned and controlled.
The kind Of franchise to be grant
ed for the operation Of motor busses
on the streets of Urbana was decid-
ed upon at meeting of the street
and alley and the ordinance commit
tees of the Urbana city council at 1880
o'clock this evening in the city coun-
Gil rooms, but information upon this
point was not obtainable at the time
of going to press.
AT a meeting Tuesday, the council
decided to allow Jonah Borden of De-
catur 30 days in which to show the
serviceability of motor transporta-
ton. The busses will only be allowed
to operate on streets where they will
not conflict with the street car serv-
ice.
Borden operates several bus lines
in Decatur and employs half dozen
busses. They can accommodate from
45 to so persons and fve-cent fare
is charged.

Within the past month the strong
Italian Federation Of Metal Workers
Cooperative Societies tFedcraxione
italiana deile Cooperative Metallur-
Riehe) has been formed TO unite all
the workers. cooperative societies In
the metal industry 10 purchase raw
materials collectively, TO standardize
their products, and 10 market them In
an orderly and socially useful manner.
The fret requisite for successful
producers co-operatives In the United
States is the mobilization of the
credit power of the workers under
/ their own control. For those who
control credit control industry. Let
each great union of workers and
/ farmers establish It's own eo-operntiye
bank TO keep the funds Of the pro-
ducers out OF the hands OF specula-
tors, manipulators, and expIoiters,
and use them for productive pur-
poses only, and a new day In indus
+ Try will dawn.
+ Producers cooperative societies
have no desire To do away with con-
snmers cooperation. In fact, they
wish TO expand and strengthen the
present consumers organizations as
distributing points for their products.
They should, as in England. form
such close alliance with consumers
societies that they share with them
the savings and economies effected by
cooperative production. The inter-
ests Of the producers and consumers
are not opposed Workers are both
producers and consumers. Although
grouped differently their interests
are identical when laboring for the
common good instead of for private
profit,

LADY CO-OPERATORS
FORM ORGANIZATION
AT MONTHLY MEETING

The all-day meeting of the ladies of
the Cooperative Society was success
beyond the expectations of the most
optimistic of the members. 1t was
held last Friday at Labor Hall. and
was attended by about thirty-five
ladies.
Mrs. Hart, president of the Wom-
ans. Guild of Bloomington, and Mrs.
Favor, treasurer of the same organ
ization, vere present, and rendered
much valuable aid to the members Of
the local society. They told at length
of the Bloomington Society. which
has grown to be one Of the most sue
.cessful in the Middle West. Prop
erty valued at $4,000, the original
store, has been paid for with the ex-
ception of $1,000, and the society has
recently acquired title to additional
property with the intention of open
ing branch of their present busi-
ness. There are 400 members of
the Bloomington society, and new
members are being added every week.
That the cooperative societies are
of the utmost assistance to union
workers was the opinion of Mrs.
Hart, who told of the great assist
ance the cooperative store is to work
ers in times of need. Particularly at
the present time, when there are so
many obstacles in the way of organ
lied labor, is the cooperative store of
assistance, in that workers may feel
assured their money will not be spent
with merchants who will use il to
fight union labor.
A new organization was formed to
take the place of the temporary or
ganizaticn. The Twin City Coopera-
tive Guild, with about thirty charter
members, will from now on promote
the welfare of the local society. Off
GERS elected are: President, Mrs. Sap,
Walkup; vice-president, Mrs. W. =.
Martin; corresponding and recording
secretary, Mrs. James Dunn; treas
urer, Mrs. Geo. B. Jenkins; trustees,
Mrs. Thomas Inskip, Mrs. II. Will
liams, Mrs. John Whalen. These Off
GERS were installed by Mrs. Hart of
the Bloomington Guild, and they inn
mediately took charge of their var
ious stations.
Meetings of the new society will
be held on the second Friday after
noon of each month, at 2 o'clock, at
Labor Hall.
Withal, very enjoyable and profit
able time was had by those present.
A tempting lunch was served at noon,
consisting of sandwiches, salads, cake
ice cream, etc, by the committee in
charge of refreshments.

GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Thus ends a controversy
of short duration. which
seemed at one time TO de-
velop into the most disas-

been averted by the use Of
sound judgment on the part
Of the general contractors

that the local gas company, which is
a part of the Urbana and Champaign

has been operating in the Twin Cities

COOPERATIVE THEATER
ORGANIZED IN SEATTLE

The first cooperative dramatic the
ater in America has been organized in
Seattle by twenty-six actors, musi
clans, stage craftsmen, and members
of the administrative staff of the
former Wilkes theater, who have put
their own money into the society,
which they will wholly manage and
control themselves. The first perform
ance drew a record crowd, and the
company assures the public that the
same high standard will be continued.
They are not in the theater business,
they say, to get rich, but to secure
steady employment and decent liv-
ing for themselves and to provide
clean entertainment for the public.

Can't. Gross ARRESTED"

Capt. Otto Gross, police commits
sioner, was "placed under arrest" at
his home Tuesday evening, charged
with speeding thru life". The Cap
tain and his good wife were loaded
into the Black Maria and hauled to
the police station, where Judge Lynch
looking more austere than even in his
high hat, heard the case against him.
Members of the police force were on
hand to testify against the prisoner.
The Judge fined Capt. Gross 500 and
attached $40 costs, or sentenced him
to 20 days hard labor on the streets
for default.
This happened on the 25th ami
versary of the marriage Of Capt. and
Mrs. Gross. The kind hearted judge
agreed to remit the fine if the couple
would agree to be married over again.
This proved agreeable and the Judge
performed the ceremony, in a manner
almost equal to that of Judge Murray.
The Captain and his wife were pre-
scented with beautiful four-piece sill
yer set. ....ES
The affair took place before an as
semblage Of prisoners, policemen, fire
men and city employees. Mrs. Eliza
beth Campbell, police matron made

For School of Printing

Efforts to have the North Dakota
Press association adopt the course ir
printing to be started at the Wahpe.
ton State School of Science with the
beginning of the school year are be.
ing made by men interested in the
school, which is attempting to fulfil!
its mission as a school of trades and
industries. The starting of course
in printing was approved by the Board
of Administration at a meeting in
July.
For the last ten years the North
Dakota Press Association has been
looking over the supply of appren-
tees and year ago committee was
appointed to make efforts to get
some school Of the state to put in a
school Of printing. The committee,
made up of Mark Forkner of Lang
don, Julius Bacon of Grand Forks, and
Norman Black of Fargo, considered
reporting to the Press Association
that the proper course to arrange for
a course in printing at the University
of North Dakota in connection with
the school of journalism at that place.
During the convention at Devils
Lake, newspaper men from the south
eastern part Of the state interested
themselves in the proposition of hav-
ing the Press Association foster the
school already approved by the board
at Wahpeton. The committee of the
Press Association listened to these
men but withheld judgment.
The friends Of the State School of
Science are now asking for meeting
at Grand Forks between a representa-
tive of the school, a representative Of
