COOPERATION

Condensing within two covers more
information on the worldwide pro-
gress of the cooperative movement
than any periodical has yet pub
lisbed in this country, the December
Locomotive Engineers Journal, pub
lished by the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers, has performed a re-
markables service for cooperation IN
America. This Special Cooperation
Number of the Journal covers not
only the outstanding achievements OF
consumers and producers co-opera-
tion. but also the progress OF CO.
operative credit and banking. Ii con-
tains a number of striking special
articles on the subject, including the
story of the Milwaukee plan OF co.
lucrative building by Mayor Daniel
VI. Hoan of that city, the remarkable
record of cooperation in Belgium by
a Belgian scholar now in this country,
fhe development of cooperative pro
duction in Great Britain by Robert
Halstead. founder of the British Co
onerative Production Federation, the
American farmers rout Of the prom
teers by cooperation, and other I'M
portant contributions.
In addition, this issue also contains
an extensive review of what CO.
operators are doing in the twenty-six
leading countries of the world and
an invaluable photography on all
phases of the cooperative movement
for those who wish to learn more
about it.

rates of utilities in the state. Has
anyone heard of them fulfilling the
desires of the governor and plat
form upon which they were appoint
ed?
The Governor says the hard roads
should be policed and protected. he
did not state, however, whether that
force should be a state centralized
military police created in the inter
ests OF financial and political ma
chimes or controlled by the counties
in which they operate. The Chicago
| Tribune and Urbana Courier, bitter
opponents of Governor Small, imme-
diately come to his defense on this
point and proclaimed him as favor

] The Governor should Immediately
make himself clear of which system
he favors.
There will probably be scores OF
anti-labor bills introduced, such as
compulsory arbitration, industrial
court laws, repeal of present miners
laws, the Dunlap state constabuiafy
etc.
Organized labor will have several
measures of selief before the present
session including the Woman's g.
hour law and Injunction limitation
| bill.
The progressive organization OF the
state will attempt the passage OF al
amendment to the present constltu'
ton permitting more than one amend
ment to be changed at time.
Factional politics will play a big
part in the present session. Political
machines will be built with the peo,,
pies money through the creation OF
numerous commissions and unneees'
sary employees. Various state OIL
cials have on their pay rolls hun
dreds of employees who do very little
work for the state except draw then
pay-but are very busy building
political fences for each state cam
paign. The legislature could do nc
more valuable service to the people
of the state than to introduce rigio
economy along this line.

The steel industry continues TO
tolerate the average twelve-hour day
for some 10000 employees, though II
mas been largely abandoned by other
industries in this country and abol-
ished by the steel and other contin.
uous-process industries in foreign
countries. Then, too, these long hours
are worked seven days in the week
except by those who are employed
in the United States Steel Corpora.
tion, which company now gives one
day rest in seven.
The strongest argument in favor OF
doing away with the long day in steel,
with its fourteen hours on the night
turn and twenty-four hours once in
two weeks at the change of the shift,
is the very simple one that such a
working day Is too long. The mind
of the community is made up on that
point. With time added for going TO
and coming from work, for meals and
for sleep, almost nothing Is left for
family life and other forms OF
recreation and sociality. .-ss
President Harding was only voicing
the spirit of the times when in writ
ing few weeks ago to the Federated
Engineers he said: "The twelve-hour
day and the type of worker it pro.
duees have outlived their usefulness
and must go "in the interest Of good
citizenship. of good business and
economic stability Fortunately
through studies carried on by various
engineering agencies during the last
two years, it has been fully estab-
lished that the twelye-hour day can
be abandoned--again using President
Harding's without either
economic or financial disturbance to
the progress of American industry.
The long day is prevalent princi-
pally around blast and open-heafth
furnaces which must be opearted con-
tinuousdly. To allow their fires to go
out always means a heavy loss and
sometimes ruin Of the equipment. The
long day has its origin in the virtual
necessity of working men either In
eight or twelve hour shifts as mnl-
tiples of the twenty-four day. On
machines or other work which can be
carried on intermittently it has been
possible TO shorten the working day
gradually. Because on these con-
tinuous processes any change almost
always means drop from twelve 70
eight hours the long day has per-
sisted.
Beginning with the activities Of the
Philadelphia Engineers Club, various
engineering agencies have investigat.
ed the long day from every conceiv-
able engineering and economic angle
and have exploded every one OF the
technical reasons which have been
advanced for its continuance. About
twenty steel plants have already gone
to the shorter day and are satisfied
with the results. The labor turnover
has been shown to be much less when
ON three shifts than on two shifts
This is the best index one could have
as to whether the workers prefer

Waahington.-~The United States
supreme courts recent annulment Of
the federal child labor law Is re.
called by the announcement that hear
ings will be held by the senate judie.
iary committee on n proposed eonsti.
,utional amendment that Is intended
to legallse child labor prohibition.
This decision, delivered by Chief
Justice TAFT, is marvellous exhibit
ton OF how the legal mind can glide
over decisions by the same court
which run directly counter To the
child labor decision.
The court putlnwed the child laboi
act on the ground that the 10 per cent
profits on child labor products was q
penalty and not tax. The court
also ruled that the provisions of the
act which permitted inspections Of
factories. so the act could be en-.
forced. was an invasion Of states
rights.
These two points constitute the
courts major objections to the at
tempt to check child labor by taxing
the profits of child labor.
The decision is contrary TO many
other decisions by the same court. In
the case of veazie Bank w. Fenno u
Wallace, b33) the court held that the
power of congress to use tax To de-
stroy can not be questioned. That
case revelsed around the right OF con-
gress To tax state banks out of ex-
istence. The supreme court said this
Was lepai. In the child labor case the
same court held a 10 per cent tax on
profits was penalty and not a tax.
The court also upheld the tax on
oleomargarine, which was intended TO
outlaw that commodity.

LABOR SHORTAGE
CRY HAS VERY

let-down of immigration bars cannot
conceal these facts;
The census bureau of the United
States Is quoted In the public press

parts Of the United States at the rate
of $500 for i0-hour day"
No northern European country has
taken advantage Of the 3 per cent inn
migration law. The quotas Of Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, France, Ger
many, Belgium. Holland, Norway and
Sweden are all untitled. Immigrants
from these countries are not coming
to the United States.
Southern Europe and the Balkan
countries, where the illiterate lmmi-
grants come from. and which supplies
the cheapest white labor In the world,
have their quotas Allied. No more can
come from these countries unless the
per cent law Is changed.
To tap this supply of cheap labor Is
the purpose Of those who cry labor

Corporations in the United States

They do not want TO pay living
