NEBRASKA PROJECT
GOES TO HIGH COURT
Consent Decree Is Drafted Pend.
ing Trial of Power Com.
panies' Suit.

A proposed consent decree will be
submitted to the United States Su-
preme Court today for temporary In
junction against the Public Works Ad-
ministration's plan for Statewide
power system in Nebraska.
Agreement for a consent decree,
reached between the Government and
attorneys of five Nebraska power COM
panies, clears the way for completion
of work under $28, 400 900 already al
located three Nebraska projects.
The Supreme Court is expected to
grant a temporary injunction along
lines of the attorneys agreement,
pending a trial of the power COM
panies' suit. The attorneys will ask
that the trial be set for April 20.
The agreement forbids w. P. A., for
the present, from financing power
phases of the tri-county project or
proceeding with plans for q State
wide, interconnected power generating
and distribution system.
However, it permits completion of
work on the $9,700,000 Platte Valley
power and irrigation project, and the
$8,700,000 Loup River power project
and interconnecting transmission lines.
It also permits the project to go ahead
on irrigation phases under its present
$l0,000,000 allotment.

Merritt's BrainStOrm

Walter Gordon Merritt, a New York lawyer
whose erudition and mental agility have been
consecrated for years to those un-American en-
ployers who refuse to recognize the right OF
working men and women to organize In trade
unions for the protection of their economic in
terests, got off one of his usual TRADES against
trade unionism in an address before the recent
Atlantic City convention of civic associations
and chambers of of New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.
According to press reports he assailed strik-
es, picketing and boycotting as the right to in
lure property and disrupt business and urged
that courts of equity should exercise the pow
er to issue injunctions restraining unions from
using these methods Of mutual protection.
Under our economic system the workers sell
the use of their labor power to employers in
industry, trade and commerce, whose main OBJ
iective is profit. Without the labor performed
by the workers there would be no profit for
EMPLOYERS. A strike is a refusal OF the workers
to sell use of their labor power to employers
for wages and under conditions which the work
ers deem essential to their welfare. Mr.. Mer-
rift would have the workers prohibited from
refusing 10 Sell LuG USE VI LlSu dDLlly w WOlh'
Picketing is a method used by unions to warn
the workers and the general public that an en-
ployer has dealt unfairly with the workers,
with the recommendations that the workers and
their friends withhold their patronage, buying
power, from the employer until he consents to
deal fairly with the employees. MIR. Merritt
would have this right outlawed.
Boycotting as the term is usually under
stood, is a more or less united action by organ
lied workers to refuse to buy the products or
services of employers who oppose the workers
interests. 1t is illustrated by the action OF I'M
ions in placing an employer on the unfair list"
with the suggestion that workers and their
friends refrain from patronizing the employer
as long as he persists in his unfair attitude to-
ward labor. 1t is merely the exercise by work
ers of the right to spend their wages with en-
ployers who deal fairly with them and to with
hold their patronage from employers who re-
fuse to deal fairly with them. Mr.. Merritt
would have the workers deprived by law of this
right.

ties a type of European Fascism which anti-un-
ion employers and their propagandists would

Roper's Sound Recovery"

The fallacious tendency to interpret the in
creasing prosperity of industry and farmers as
the main test of recovery, leaving the jobless
workers outside prosperity portals, was exhibit
ed by Secretary of Commerce Roper in an adj
dress of Tulsa, Okla. on business conditions.
AS evidences of sound recovery" MIR. Roper
first cited the advances in prices of farm pro-
ducts since 1882 and the beginning of 1888. The
price of wheat, he said, has increased from 46
cents a bushel to $1.10; corn, from % cents a
bushel to 81; cattle, from S. per hundred pounds
to about SO, and cotton, from 5 cents a pound
to 13 cents.
Turning to industry, Mr.. Roper said indus
trial production (by which he meant the out
put of the workers. has increased 83 per cent;
department store sales, 26 per cent, and rural
retail sales, 141 per cent.
Then Mr.. Roper let the cat out of the bag, SO
far as labor is concerned, with the statement
thai factory employment has increased49 per
cent. That is to say, an increase of 49 per cent
in the number of workers employed in indus
try has raised production to 80 per cent of nor
NAL. This tremendous disparity between the
increase in the number of workers re-employ-
ed in industry and the output of the workers in
dicates in part the extent to which opportuni-
ties for employment have been destroyed by in
stalling labor-displacing machinery and met
hods and frightening the work week.
Mr.. Roper describes this one-sided recovery
as Sound recovery" 1t is sound for the agri-
cultural and industrial interests who benefit by
it through higher prices, larger output and lar
ger sales volume for the products which they
own. But considered in connection with over
ten million workers still unemployed, over 3
million of whom are supported by the Federal
Government in temporary emergency employ
ment, it is fundamentally unsound.
Real recovery begins with the great masses
of working men and women. And no recovery
is sound with ten million out of a working popu-
lation of thirty-nine million left unemployed,
helpless and poverty stricken or on the verge
of poVertV.

tai of $24 and functioned as a buy
ing club until their business was
large enough to move into a store.
In 1885 this group did a retail bust
ness of $4,000 and had become the
largest negro-owned retail business
in the United States.
1t is this present sweep of activity
that gives consumer cooperation !
America its significance. A few years
ago it was a negligible quantity in
the national economic scene. To-
day, because of the philosophy it is
teaching, it's Importance cannot be
ignored. 1t was his perception Of
the implications of the movement
that led Roger Babson to warn his
clients this winter that in ignoring
the consumer movement in America,
merchants may be sitting on dyna-
mite.
The real strength of consumer CO.
operation lies in the fact that il does
not preach a philosophy of revolu-
ton by force. 1t makes 10 at
tempt to juggle legislation or resort
to political action. It is a technic
that is purely economic in its opera
ton. Instead of volubly attacking
| the existing method of distribution
it sets about to do a better job. The
figures on gain by the cooperative
method of distribution tell the story
of its effectiveness.
Distribution for profit today faces
the challenge of consumer co-opera-
ton, the challenge of a new technic
in distribution that is gaining
ground among both farm groups and
city workers. The only way in
which the present system can meet
the challenge is by doing a better
job of distribution. Which would
mean a complete realignment of our
methods of distribution. Our meth
DDS of production grew in efficiency
as we studied methods and means
and worked out our present system
of mass production. But we ig-
nored distribution, left it on a basis
of inefficiency that led to its COM
plete failure. In consumer coop
Grafton we have a system of distri-
button growing among the people.

Prosperity and Pauperism

Although the alleged prosperity which pro-
~pagandists claim has come to Great Britain dur
ing the past few years has reduced the number
of unemployed workers, it has, on the other
hand, increased mass poverty.
This is revealed by a recent report of the
British Ministry of Health showing that the
number of persons receiving poor relief in En-
gland and Wales on January l, 1886, was 1887
72O - an increase of 331 900 compared with six
years ago.

voorhees, paupers entirely dependent on public
charity for their living is a shadow prosperity
which will ultimately plague those responsible
for it.
Montana labor news., 1936-10-01

preaching to millions Of receptive
Americans the philosophy of con-
sumner cooperation as the only eco
nomic system hal squares with
Christian ethics. He has a large
audience because the failure of our
system of production has hit the
churches a staggering blow. The
great majority of church leaders
throughout the country are begin
ming to realize that there cannot be
a solid and substantial church while
economic chaos continues.
For this reason there is at present
a very significant turning of the
church leaders toward consumer o
operation. These men want to
know just what this thing is that
Kagawa is preaching. If these re-
legious leaders find the cooperative
philosophy they may well begin to
follow Kagawa's advice and help in
the building of a cooperative order
to square with the ethics they have
been teaching.
Such are the existing facts in the
movement of consumer cooperation
as it appears today. 1t is, in effect,
the visible manifestation of a spirit
of economic revolt among the peo-
pie. This type of revolt can only
be suppressed by the removal of the
evils that caused it. If the evils are
| not remedied the revolt will sweep
on. American business today faces
| its greatest test. For this time the
| demands upon it are not vague gem
| eralities. In consumer cooperation
| we have at last a clear and distinct
| outline of a method of action.
1t is interesting to note that in his
latest book, 1t Can't Happen Here, in
which he deals with the threat of
Fascism in America, Sinclair Lewis
says in one place that the real hope
lies in something that is being
voiced in the Middle West, a some
thing that is called the Cooperative
Commonwealth.
Consumer cooperation is the first
evidence of that commonwealth, the
appearance in actuality of the tech
mic whereby these co-operators hope
to bring that commonwealth into
being. 1t is because it is appearing
in such terms that the movement is
significant.

THE MASSES GO into
Big Business

CONTINUED From Last Week.
In town after town through the
Middle West the cooperative sta
ton comprises a feed mill, a bulk
plant for the distribution of gas and
oil, a warehouse where the farmer
buys his feed, seed, fertilizer, fenc-
ing, and building materials. The
current move is toward the setting
up of a retail store in connection
with each one of these cooperative
depots.
The Consumers Cooperative AS
ISOLATION in North Kansas City, for
instance, with its 300 depots in Kan
sas, Colorado, and neighboring
states, is now organizing its own
grocery wholesale in order to set up
a store in connection with each gas
oline station and feed warehouse.
Distribution for profit, collecting
a toll on the farm products that the
city worker must buy and another
toll on the factory goods sold to the
farmer, drove a wedge between
farmer and city worker. The CO.
operatives in the West, claiming
that the middleman is responsible
for the misunderstanding between
farm population and the town
jewellers, is making a definite move
to link the two through cooperative
development. In Indiana and Ohio
for example, the rural cooperative
organizations have laid out a def
mite plan of action. They are going
into the towns and cities to hell
workers form their own consumer
co-operatives to deal directly witt
