President Coolidge, apparently, has
gone over to the rubber interests
which want to hold the Philippines as
a rubber plantation. His special COM
missioner, Carmi Thompson, member
Of the infamous Ohio gang, from the
beginning has been trying to prove
a case and not conduct fair investi-
cation. The young Firestone, accord
Ing to the newspapers, has been tell
ing the president that the rubber cor
poration should be allowed to control
as much as 100000 acres-well over
700 sqaure miles instead Of the $500
acres to which. holdings are now linn
tied. Nothing Of the sort is necessary
for the successful growing Of rubber;
$500 acres is lot Of land and it
would be far better for the Philippines
to see a slower development of rubber
plantations, perhaps on the co-opera-
tive principle, than to see them de-
livered over to foreign capitalists.
Anyway, we cannot get bit excited
about our dependence on British rub
Der growers. Short of war with

Window Cleaners Deny
Soviet Charge; Only
Fight the Open Shop

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Pau1 Krat,
business agent of Local of the Win.
dow Cleaners Protective Union, at
PIT East 9th street, denies charges
that the window cleaning company
run by his organization is on a Soviet
basis or that it has any connection
with Moscow. This concern, the Min
cola Window Cleaning Company, was
chartered by the state as a corpora
ton. 1t was organized to be used as
a weapon against the open shop by
taking business from such shops iand
thus compelling them to employJunion
labor.
Mr.. Fink, manager OF the Amalga-
mated Window Cleaning Employers
Association, was a former business
agent of the Window Cleaners Pro
tective Union. In 1919 he betrayed
the workers In strike called at that
time and became manager of the en-
ployers' association.
The union is not disturbed by the
charges and It is expected that about
1900 window cleaners of New York
and Brooklyn will go out on strike
October 1 unless the employers meet,
the demands OF the workers.

Honor Us. Rubber.

Great Britain which is unthinkable,
we shall usually be able to buy British
or Dutch rubber as cheap as American
interests will permit us to buy Amer
lean owned rubber. There is no short
age in the production of rubber and in
the long run over-development of rub
Der plantations will send prices Of
rubber up, not down. If the rub
Der interests get their way, it's a
safe bet that within few years, they
will be forming kind of international
trust to control the price Of rubber to-
gether with the very people against
whom they are now arousing the
American consumer. This has been
the history Of the steel trade. Anyway,
the facts show that British rubber
growers are not nearly as responsible
for American prices as our American
producers. II we sell our honor in the
Philippines for the sake Of rubber
plantations we will not even collect
our thirty pieces of silver.

The rules Of the camp are made at

men rent cottages for $3.50 and up per
season.

About every two weeks some section
of the Finnish Federation holds a pic
mic on our grounds. Then we sure
have a good time. OF course all the
campers help the city comrades all
they can. On picnic days the campers
don't do any cooking for themselves
because we can get food so cheap at
the picnic.
Help To Party
These picnics are usually run toge-
Their with Saturday night dance at
a nearby town. All proceeds are used
for party activity. These picnics are
not only socially successful but some
times we make as high as two hundred
dollars on a picnic and dance.
Thru this system We do only help
the party financially but keep 1t intact
during the summer months.
About September the fifteenth, we
pack up our fonts and store them at
nearby farm ready again for the
next campaign season.

In forty-lve minutes we returned with

have no interest in allowing their
capital to be frittered away in making
good the deficiency in our working ex-
penses. Where the chief obstacle lies,
therefore, is plain. and It is for the
members Of societies to say how long
success shall be postponed. Many
societies have already testified to the
advantage they have derived from our

NEW YORK, Sept 10. - Hope for
the organization of the textile indus
try with its million members glim-
mered into the twenty-ffth annual
convention Of the United Textile
Workers of America with the entrance
Of five credentialled members from
the Passaic strike zone. The FIVE

their 126 brothers and sisters repre-
sent the ten thousand new members
in the new Passaic local Union No.
1903.
From Basic Section.
The significance Of the new Passaic
local is that it has come from the
basic part of the industry in which
the union has been weakest. Before
the Passaic strikers were welcomed
into the international the general or
ganization consisted mainly of skilled
workers in the highly specialized tex
tiles but had comparatively few mem
bers in the basic cloth making divi-
sions of woolens and worsteds and
cottons-comparati few, that is,
as compared with the unorganized.
The hope now is that with Passaic
as a starter a vigorous union drive
may in the coming years clinch the
wooden and worsted workers of Mass
achusetts and Rhode Island. Fifty
thousand more of these would give
the union a powerful grip on this divi-
sion of the industry. And if success
can be gained in large way in wool
ems and worsteds then why not the
numerically larger division Of cotton
manufacturing.

necessity of bringing the vast masses

w. s. Pioneer was the first merchant
vessel to reach the port Of Manches-
ter from overseas, at the opening Of
the Manchester ship canal in 1894. The

of 100000 in this project. The pres

&c. w. S. Banking and Land Ownership.
Until 1876 cooperative banking was
blocked by the law. The loan and de-
post department opened in 1872, was
transformed into the bank department
by this 1876 amendment of the law In
1924, the number of current accounts
is as follows: Cooperative societies,
1925; trade unions and friendly socie-
ties, $3.50; clubs and other mutual or
CARNATIONS, 1884; individuals 1916
total, 17,469. In addition to the fore
going there are 1872 deposit accounts
of trade unions and friendly societies
who do not require current accounts
There are 81 distributive cooperative
societies not banking with the c. w
Is.
From purchase Of produce to the
production of foodstuffs was logical
development. Up to 1871 societies
were barred from holding and dealing
freely in land but now, besides 50, 900
acres Of tea plantations in Southern
India, Ceylon, and Assam, estates have
been acquired in England, commenc-
ing with the purchase of the Roden
estate, Salop, in 1896. The following

owned, with the total acreage of Great
