5000 MONTANA
FARMERS ENTER
BIG WHEAT POOL
With Canada and Dakota
for Cooperative Sales
BY N. HELENDER,
Worker Correspondent.

PLENTYWOOD, Mont, Sept. IL. -
Sunday, September 5, the special com
mittee appointed by the Council of
Action Of the Western Progressive
Farmers Of Montana gave their report
Of the investigation of the North Da-
kota wheat pool.
The members of the committee, Art
Wankel, secretary of the Council of
Action OF the wheat pool; Eng. Tors
Jensen, treasurer Of Sheridan county,
and Chas. E. Taylor, senator of Mon
tana, gave a very favorable report of
the pool, and recommended that the
Western Progressive Farmers, an or
ganization of about 5000 members,
join.
Withdraw From Agency.
In their investigations in Minneapo-
lis they heard criticism both favorable
and unfavorable regarding the North
Dakota Wheat Growers Association,
but all seemed in favor of a pool of
some sort or another.
The American Sales Agency, with
whom the North Dakota association
was once connected, objected to the
way in which Mr. Duis, the manager
Of the North Dakota association, has
had this pool withdraw from the sales
agency, thus forming another co-opera-
tive, of a similar sort. Mr.. Duis, in
reply, stated that remaining in the
sales agency would have meant abso-
Lutte ruin for North Dakota.
Farmers Favor Pool.
The North Dakota farmers all
seemed highly in favor OF the pool,
and even those who were holding their
wheat for future peak prices, claimed
that the pool was the thing. Mr. Tay-
lor, in questioning one of these farm
ers about the pool, stated:
eve are on a committee represent
ing body Of farmers of Montana, and
our report may have some weight
Would you, after your experience with
the North Dakota Wheat Growers AS
sociation, and in your position, advise

Canadians Advise It.
In Canada the wheat pool was
highly in favor of the organization of
large similar institution in the
States. The International officers at
Winnipeg recommend that the Mon
tana growers join with the North Da-
kota pool, for, they said, since the
pool has been set up Canadian farm
ers have been receiving good prices
for their wheat.
Canada and the States are both in
the same world market as far as
wheat is concerned. 1t would not pay
for the States to be unorganized with
conditions as they are. The wheat
growers of Montana would be wise in
joining such an efficient organization
as the North Dakota pool.
After a careful investigation, the
committee found that the N.D.WG.A.

NEWS AND
COMMENT
Early Struggles in Great Britain

The public Libraries acts were pass
ed in 1850 and 1855; the newspaper
duty was finally abolished in the lat
ter year. These were important meas
ures to men who realized the neces'
sity of education in the cooperative
movement-the type of men who had
previously to pay I'd. for such news
papers as Feargus O'Connor's North
ern Star.
Reform Movements.
Another significant event Of this re-
form period was the founding OF the
Working Mems College, in London, in
1854, by Frederick Maurice, The ami
mating motive of this experiment in
adult education was to harmonize the
radical antagonism between capital
and labor. Maurice, in common with
all the Christian socialists. made a
general appeal on the broad basis Of
Christianity for a more endurable ex
istence for the workers. Social re-
form was the new line along which
the ruling class was counseled to pro
coed If It would save itself from the
consequences of rebellion"
In this atmosphere the movement
made steady progress, altho in the
most important center Of cooperation

sixties was a severe testing time. The

Y. M. O. A. and D. D. Kimmel, presi-
dent Of the Midland Bank of this

trips to Soviet Russia. Altho unable
to understand the dictatorship-and
OF course opposed to it-they make
flattering statements about what is
being done In Soviet Russia.

Women Equal In Industry.
Women in industry are given equal
rights and pay with men. An expec-
tant mother is given two months vaca-
ton with pay before birth of the child
and an equal period afterward. She
receives a state dole during the in
fancy Of the child for its support.
Every worker is given two weeks
vacation with pay and free transpor-
tation to one of the many national
rest camps. These are generally at a
beautiful country estate formerly be-
longing to some rich nobleman or
bourgeoisie."

Mrs. Kimme, who flew to Moscow
from Berlin, states that Representa-
tlVes Of American, British and Ger

view is that Russia Is Communist for

! "The Cooperative Movement"

III ING cooperative MOVEMENT
THE chief obstacles to the success
Il Of the cooperative movement were
the hostility OF shop-keepers and
wholesalers, the lack of education, I'M
business-like methods, and the abb
sence Of legal protection. Fraud by
officials and store-keepers was fairly
common, altho the general honesty of
those entrusted with responsible ad-
ministrative positions in the workers
movements has been very marked
considering the temptations of the
average workers life. Holyoake tells
us that "some Of the stores appear
to have been troubled by the disap-
pearance of cheese in larger proper
ton than the sales accounted for, and
and announcement was made Of the
formation Of mouse-trap committee.
The most serious difficulty was the
law. Before 1859 the legal disabilities
were: (a) every cooperative so
ciety was considered a private part
nership, and every member was re-
sponsible for the total liabilities of
the society; (b) II It had more than
rs members it had no legal existence
at all; hence (c) It had no means of
defense against embezzlement or rob
berry, and no power to enforce rules.
As the law stood, an action could not
be taken at common law by a part
ner suing his co-partner for breach Of
agreement or fraud. The only pro-
cedure that could be adopted was by
fling bill IN equity against his part
ner in the court of chancery. This
was an expensive business, the cost
Of filing the bill alone being so e,
hence the practical impossibility, in
those days of soanty capital, of taking
any proceedings against fraudulent
member. 1t was better to grin and
bear losses than to risk all the saw
ings disappearing in a chancery suit
Luckily for the cooperative move
ment an influential group of sympa-
thizers- the Christian socialists -
placed their legal knowledge at its
disposal Help was also given and the
cause championed In the house of
commons by ]. S. Mill (the econo-
misD, Thomas Hughes and Walter
Morrison (which championship re-
suited later in the loss of their seats
by the hostile votes Of shop-keepers).

SOVIET POSTERS

An Interesting display OF Russian
bank posters is TO DO seen at the
State Bank of Chicago, Washington

graphs in three or four colors. The
exhibition faces La Sale street and
is attracting much attention from

The captions are translated from

Of 1920 It was 1s1 100000. Before the

has put in its appearance in the rub
Der plants of this rubber center of the
world called the Rubber Worker"
1t is the vehicle of a group of rubber
workers who want to see the industry

Facts and Figures.
The main article gives facts and
figures to prove that the workers in
the Akron plants are very much UNI
derpaid and overworked and also
gives an idea 4of what melons the
owners Of the industry cut each year.
There are news items of struggles
being fought by workers elsewhere,
notably in Passaic, where the situa-
ton prior to the strike that organ
lied $1,000 workers was very similar
to the unorganized condition of the
main industry here.
Nucleus of Union.
A long editorial reviews the prob
lens of the rubber worker and de-
tails the means Of creating a genuine
organization to put forth his collect
i've demands. A nucleus of a rubber
workers union has been formed and
recently staged, well-attended picnic
at which one Of the speakers was

Progress of the Central Cooperative Exchange in 1925

while at the end Of 1926 there were
65 societies affiliated, buying from
their own Wholesale $685., 532.37 worth
Of goods.
Cooperation Saves Expenses.
The average expenses OF the CO.
operative stores affiliated with the Co
operative Central Exchange were 1915
per cent Of net sales in 1925. The
corresponding figure of the private
store is about IS per cent. And the
net profit of the co-operatives will
benefit those to whom it justly be-
longs and not the private merchant.
The Cooperative Central Exchange
itself tells the same story. Last year
our gross profit for the jobbing and
wholesale departments was 7.31 per
cent, and the expenses were 6.26 per
cent. The corresponding figures of
privately owned WHOLESALERS Of the
same size were 11.5 per cent and IL
per cent.
So It does not pay the glib-tongued
salesman Of private merchants to
boast of their cheaper" goods. Ac-
cording to these figures their quality.
not their price, is cheaper.
Educational Activities.
But the commercial end is not the
whole purpose of the local co-opera-
tives or their centralized wholesale.
Bearing this in mind, the Cooperative
Central Exchange has been helping
local societies to conduct educational
work among the masses. ~

BY GEORGE HALoNEN.

This Year Book contains a good
deal Of figures and statistics about the
Cooperative Central Exchange. The
figures as such do not have any life,
but when you discover the incessant
care and se1f-sacrificing industry by
which the result was obtained the dull
story begins to live.
An increase of the sales from $751;
214.56 to sS35,532.37 did not come
by Itself, and not only thru sound
commercial practice, but thru hard
work thruout the line. Many faint
hearted members had to be converted
to understand cooperative centraliza-
ton. many store managers had to be
saved from the flattery and deception
exercised by private statesmen, and
we must admit that the number of
loyal store managers has been in
creased and that they did the pioneer
ing work among the masses with en-
thusiasm and sacrifice. If we could
present figures to show how many
times our cooperative store managers
and clerks have been compelled to
explain the elementary truth OF CEN
tralized cooperation the figures would
run high.
The work done turnout the line has
brought results which show that the
cooperative wholesale has come to
stay and that its future is assured.
To think, that in 1917 only Is socie-
ties were affiliated with the exchange
and the sales were only $25.573.62.
