Great Increase In

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Total bust

done by 10000 farmers associations
In the United States in 1925, according
to a preliminary report OF the division
of cooperative marketing in the de-

gain of $1,7OO,OOO,OOO since the year
1915, and has been made chiefly in the
north central states.
An increase of more than $1,000
100000 was made in the IL states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
In the year 1925 about 80 per cent
Of this cooperative trading was done
by associations Of producers of grain,
including rice and beans. Over %
per cent was in dairy products. Cot
ton associations sold $3.50, 100000
worth of crops, and tobacco marketing

BRITISH LABOR
GROUND UNDER
BY TORY RULE
Workers Conditions on
Down Grade

LONDON, Oct. MISREPRESENTATION
labor has suffered a distinct degrade
ton of conditions in many fields dur
ing the two years of tory rule that
have followed the pulling down of the
labor party government, says the Lon
don correspondent Of the international
Federation Of Trades Unions in a
gloomy review of the situation.
Unemployment. q
The unemployed, not including the
striking miners, numbered 1864, 900 in
July, 1926, as against 1,0S9,OOO in July,
1924. The number OF persons receiv-
ing poor law relief fell under the
labor government from 319 to 272 per
1000; under the Baldwin government
1t rose to AL per 1000 in March,
1926. During the first IL months of
the labor government wages of work
ers rose by about $3.50, 900 a week:
in 1925 they fell by s4OOO00 a week,
and between January and July, 1926,
by another S355,OO0 a week.
Unemployment benefit rates were
raised during the labor regime; since
the tories took charge the govern
ment has cut It's appropriations for
this purpose by $4,000 900 to $780,

time Baldwin's government has re-
duced the supertax and income tax
payable by the richly $3.50, 900, 900
in his first budget and by 1910 900, 900

The falsity Of the hopes OF a peace

which the miners leaders have been
holding out as the principal hope dur

completely exposed. The government

the working class movement, despite
the universal demand at every district
trades council conference, as well as
by wholesale branch resolutions.
The hypocrisy of the international
miners committee at its meeting at
Ostend on September 80, when 1t was
confronted again with its pledges of
international strike action and took
no action, is no less clear.
Pussy-Footlnu Gained Nothing.
The steps OF reconciliation of the
miners leaders to Macdonald, to the
parliamentary labor party, TO the gen.
eral council, to the whole reformist
leadership, have brought not one
atom of support to the miners. On the
other hand, they have confused the
fight, disheartened the miners, created
division between the miners leaders
and the left wing in the miners, who
gave them their strength, and para
lyzed the fight of the other workers
against the reformist leadership and
to come TO the assistance OF the min
ers in spite OF their leaders.
What, then, Is to be done? The
path of pacinsm and appeals to the
government is vain. The path OF rec.
onciliation with the reformist leader
ship is vain. These have prolonged
and weakened the miners fight to a
dangerous and desperate point.

But equally vain is the path OF mac.
ton, OF dragging on and waiting, on
the present passive basis, for settle
ment 70 come. This can only mean
eventually. ON the physical compul-

come out again, but you cannot keep
men out when they have not the
means to live"
Attack or Retreat.
But what does this mean? Cook
states it to justify his policy of com.
promise and yainly protracted nego.
tiations. On the contrary. The very
urgency OF the position means that
the path Of protracted negotiations
merely plays into the enemy's hands
and that, II disorganization is not to
set in, either every resource Of &C,
ton must be. brought into play at
once, or, If all action has been tried
and failed, then and then only clear
and conscious retreat must be carried
thru, promptly, decisively, and directly
led, such as will not disorganize but
leave the movement all the stronger
for a future struggle.
But has all action been taken?
Again on the contrary. The path of
pacifist negotiation, and Of reconcilia-
ton with the reformist leadership has
led to neglect to concentrate on the
one fundamental thing-the strength
ening OF the fight, and the direct ap.
peal to the working class.
Left Wing Proposals.
The proposals OF the miners minor.
ity movement, consistently put for
ward at every conference in opposi.
ton to the compromise policy OF Cook
have never yet been attempted to ba
carried out.
First, the miners should bring out
the safety men in every pit where
coal Is being raised. Cook himself has
stated that the demand for the with
drawal OF the safety men is universal
from every part OF the country. The
federation officials have sometimes
dallied with the threat. The Ian
cashire executive has passed resolu.
ton calling for national conference

There is no striking difference be.
tween the status of the worker in CO.
operative employ and his fellow-work-
ers in capitalist concerns. Indeed, the
conditions generally of cooperative
employ have been rather aptly de-
scribed as mot so good as the best,
better than the worst and about as
good as the average" The increas-
ingly bitter relations Of the Stores
and the c. w. S. with the employees
Union has resulted in the establish.
ment Of hours and wages boards, local
and national with the object of set.
Ting disputes.
One Of the most holly debated ques-
tons was the proposed minimum
wage scale. In August, 1907, the c.
w. S. Committee agreed to the A. U.
C. e. minimum Of 24s. for men. But
it was more difficult to obtain the
minimum for women. The WomeHs
Cooperative Guild urged this at their
congress in 1906, and joint commit.
tee eventually drew up the congress
scale" in 1908. But it was, not until
1914 that the G. w. C. put the scale
in force completely.
Another keenly debated question
was and is, that Of employees and theil
right to representation on boards OF
management. Many years ago the
Rochdale Society had the following
clause inserted in their registered
rules: mo servant Of this society
