work as coming from brotherhood Of

The league Of nations, however.
may be said to be seriously injured
by the treaty, and even greater de-

Soviet Union is expected TO make
similar treaties with both Esthonia
and Latvia. thus further isolating Po-

and classification makes the posi-
bilities of success exceedingly small.
In 1883 the Labor Association for
the Promotion OF Cooperative Produc-
ton was established, based on the
theory OF the co-partnership OF the
worker, now called the Labor Co-part-
nership Association. This is propa-
gandist body.
Cooperative co-partnershIps.
There are roughly three classes Of
"Co-partnership Societies: "a Socle-
ties composed Of shareholders who
work for tor are living In hopes of
doing so when the capital and trade
sufficiently develop. (2) Societies con-
sisting partly of individual sharehold-
ers and partly Of Cooperative Stores,
the latter providing part Of the capital
and a market for the manufactured
goods. (s) Societies which are fede-
rations Of other societies, as distrib-
utive stores, but which provide CO.
partnership provisions in their rules.
Examples of these are: Glass ~:
WaIsall Locks and Cart Gear, Ltd.
Established 1879; Garden City Press
Glass (2): Kettering Clothing Manu-
facturers established 1899, and
some 10 co-partnership boot and shoe
factories IN the Midlands. Glass (s)f
Glasgow United Baking Society les
tablished 1859.
The 10 such societies in 1911, were
reduced to 105 in 1922. Membership,
trade, number of employees, and wages
all show a decline. OF course, many
limited liability companies have what
they term partnership schemes,
where a bonus on wages is paid, or
shares allotted to workers employed.
These are outside the cooperative
movement.
Capitalist co-partnershIps.
In 1889 the Gas Workers and Cen
eral Laborers' Union won a remark
able concession from the London Gas
Companies, reduction of the work
ing day from IL to 8 hours, without
a strike, and accompanied by small
increase in wages. THE men en-
ployed by two Of the gas companies
in London, and by most Of those en-
gagged by provincial municipalities,
have retained this boon. But in Dec.
1889, the South Metropolitan Gas
company insisted, after a serious
strike, on a return to the 12-hour
shift. A scheme Of profit-sharing was
used to break up their mems union,
and induce them to accept individual
engagements inconsistent with collec-
tive bargaining" Is. and B. Webb

Machinery and Trade
Slump Hits Unions of
Germany a Hard Blow

BERLIN, Dot s.-FP) Wage
agreements in Germany decreased
sharply In number In the two years
ending Jan. 1, 1925. The reasons
given are that production Is being
concentrated and that trade has
slumped. At the end of the year
1922 there were reported 1o,7eS agree
ments covering S9o,2s7 concerns, but
on Jan. 1, 1925, there were only 1908
agreements covering 1854 concerns.
The number of wage workers pro
tected by trade agreements also fell
on to dangerous degree. At the be-
ginning of the eperiod It was 1890,
600, and at the end It was only
100000. Reason for this decline is
said to be large discharges of manual
and other laborers because of the
adoption of labor-saving machinery
and because the imitation period in
the industry was ended. A further
factor in reduction was the technical
reconstruction of factories.
One favorable development in these
years was an increase in the proper
ton Of agreements made by employ
ers with entire unions, and de-
crease in the proportion made with
only local associations OF workers. On
Jan. l. 1925, some 1o,6eo,00O wage
workers in Germany were officially
registered as working under district
or national wage agreements.

On the other hand 1t is claimed tha4
"co-partnership gives the employe in
creased interest in the economy and
efficiency Of production, coupled with
the feeling that he is being more
equitably dealt with in the division OF
the profits Of industry, whilst capital
owning brings with It a greater sense
Of responsibility and a wider out
look" Oh. vivian).
Some Criticisms.
Our objections to capitalist co-part-
nership are that ~ efficiency Of pro-
duction means excessive speeding up;
20 working-class solidarity is under
mined and trade unionism weakened;
90 wages tend to keep stationary;
(4) a stumbling block is placed in the
