PEOPLE g
THE FALLING MANTLE
elders

1t seems fortunate thing as it is
an unusual thing that our new presi-
dent Coolidge should be so we'll pre-
pared to step into the line for our
late fallen chiefs duties by reason of
the close council maintained between
the two at all times and the innovation
introduced by the late president in
having Mr. Coolidge attend every cab
met meeting, something not hitherto
in practice by vice-president. Nat
urally he is by this means more keen
ly alert to all Executive problems,
better fitted to solve them and thus
may serve his country's needs more
expeditiously.

STARTING SOON AND
STARTING RIGHT

This is the plan of the Nature Study
Club of Indiana, who have recently en-
rolled every member of the state legis-
lature in the American Tree associa-
ton after influencing them to adop,
the tulip as the state flower and to
plant both tulips and trees at once
upon the statehouse grounds. Or
the plea of giving the centennial oh
servance OF Arbor Day in 1912 proper
celebration they propose to start plant
ing the trees along the Hoosier high
ways and in the parks rightaway so
that all will be done but the shouting
when that day duly arrives.

on a cold slab sleeping and waking

for sober consideration of his rash

COOPERATIVE MARKETING THE SALIVA
TON OF THE PRODUCER the issue OF

VI
August 5th Clarence Poe that far-seeing editor of
:he Progressive Farmer compares the system OF
collective bargaining of labor unions with the
system of cooperative marketing of farm products
with telling effect
"Co-operative marketing says Mr., Poe, is now
going through the experiences comparable to those
that attended the early organization of labor
ions. Labor unions are really cooperative or
Notwithstanding else in substance The la
borer has one definite something to sell as is the
farmers cotton, or bushel of wheat"
What COOPERATIVE Marketing Has Done for
American Labor
A long time ago laborers in England America
and elsewhere began to see that if they did not
take up cooperative marketng-that is, coopera-
ton in selling their labor thru their labor unions
they would always be at the mercy Of the buy
ing or employing world and always undcrpad.
Feebly at first the movement began, but it has
grown year by year, decade by decade, and gener-
alton by generation until now the man who would
say, 81 think that cooperative marketing of labor
through labor Unions has been failure" would be
laughed at as fool
ust how successfully in fact cooperative mark
citing of labor has been is abundantly demonstrate
ed by comparing wages received by organized lab
or as compared with prices received by morgan
zed farmers Recently a Southern farmer, writ
ing in New York daily, made this comparison in
way to stick in ones memory This Southern
farmer, taking the wages received by organized
Ilasterers, painters carpenters, etc, in Northern
cities and comparing them with prices received
by unorganzed farmers for their crops made these
comparisons
1T takes % ID dozen eggs to pay a pasterer for
day of hours work
at takes II IL bushels of corn, or a years re-
ceipts from half acre, to pay bricklayer one
day
at takes twenty-three chickens weighing three
pounds each to pay painter for one days work in
New York
1T takes ~ pounds of butter or the output from
fourteen cows fed and MIXED for twenty four
hours to pay plumber $l4 day
sit takes hog weighing Us pounds, represent
ing eight months of feeding and care to pay
carpenter for days work
Has cooperative marketing paid these laboring
men? Let the figures speak for themselves. Has
trying to get along without cooperative marketing
paid the farmers? Let the same figures answer
Farmers Will Organize AS Surely
And AS Strongly as Labor
Everybody knows the history of the cooperative
marketing OF labor through labor unions These
cooperative organizations of abrers made some
mistakes. They made some failures They had
some incompetent leaders. They had some unwor
thy leaders. Many members at times were dis
Couraged. Many said, I'VE shall never get large
enough number of aborers to stick together for
us to amount to anything. The opposition is too
wealthy, too powerful, to intelligent for us to
meet"
