MANCHESTER, England. The
year 1895 will long be remembered
by the nation as the year in which
there were three English Kings.
But in the cooperative movement
it will be remembered as the year
IN which. a quarter million new
members joined the ranks of the
British cooperatives, boosting mem
bership to 7,500, 900; the Cooperative
Wholesale Society increased it's bust
ness a million dollars a week over
sales for 1885, passing its Ten Year
Plan quota of $500, 600, 900 by more
than S7,000,000; retail cooperative
business was estimated to exceed
ST, 100, 000, 600; and cooperative pro-
duction by consumers societies ex-
ceeded SITS, 900, 900, showing a gain
of almost 10 per cent.
Encouraged by the success to date
of the Ten Year Plan which will be
completed in 1914 with the Rochdale
Centennial, the c. w. S. has launched
a tremendous building program.
Plans being completed by the rs
members of the architects depart
ment of the c. W. call for the ex-
penditure of 100000 900 fol. construc-
ton at the Balloon Street headquar-
tiers in Manchester and equally pre-
tentious projects in other sections of
the country. The new developments
include a new seven story building
for the health insurance department,
a modern building for the fruit, egg
and vegetable department, a ten.
story warehouse for draperies and
mems clothing, and enlarged quar-
tiers for the grocery and stationery
departments, all in Manchester. The
plans also call for extension to the
boot works at Leeds and a new boot
factory at Derby, additions to the
cereal factory at Leicester, milk pas
teurizing and condensing plants at
Fole, Congelton and Aecrington, new
office space for flour, biscuit, glass
and soap works, a new bacon pro-
cessing factory at Windsford, extern
sions to the paint works at Derby.

the bond holders lost over 81 ,000, 900.
Instead of enough water to flood
$4,000 acres, only $500 are now
watered.
Throughout the western part OF
our country the mania for building
big dams jumps the popular mind
from millions to billions of dollars.
Are we not losing our breath in the
race? Have we forgotten that 1t
takes hundreds and thousands of
small water supplies to create big
reservoirs? Have we forgotten that
a great dam costing 5000, 900, 900 will
silt up in fifty or a hundred years
and be useless unless soil erosion
is checked at the headwaters? Have
we forgotten natures use of land
and water and her simple methods
of creating wealth with no expendi-
ture of money?
Here is where the beaver comes
in. Now, we must admit that he
doesn't fit into an irrigated farming
community because he cannot look
at a ditch without wanting to dam
it. He is like a cow that gets into
a garden. He shouldn't be killed,
but put back where he belongs. In
the past when any cmoplaint was
made of beavers doing damage, an
ignorant legislature always opened
the season. The trappers did the
rest!
Fortunately at the present time a
plan has been worked out by the
State Game Commissions, the fed
eral Forest Service and the Biologi-
cal Survey whereby special live
traps are used to capture these ami
mails where they are not wanted.
They are transported alive back to
the headwaters of streams in the
dryer forested areas. The increase
of small storage reservoirs through
eastern Oregon is gradually building
up a wealth that was once destroyed.
All this is the wealth bestowed by
nature, and is not burdened with a
mortgage.
Old Man Beaver will always be a
gentle, unheralded worker for his
own sake. Sometimes he turns the
laugh on his friends. Up in the Wal
Iowa Valley a family of beavers built
a dam below a little mill. The own
ers insisted that the beavers were a
nuisance and asked for their re-
moval. The game warden, having
no live-traps, served notice on the
beavers to move down stream. With
a shovel and axe he tore out half
the dam. Since the habit of the
beaver is to work only in the dark,
he stuck his shovel and axe in the
mud, and on the top he hung a bright
lantern.
Returning in the morning, the
warden was surprised to find that
omeone had stolen his tools. The
dam was carefully rebuilt. The
shovel, axe and lantern we're buried
in the mud and sticks, used by the
beavers to reconstruct their dam.

should be considered ALLOWABLE
Time" and can be made up within
a period of sixty days. Recently,
|WPA rulings have made it neces-
sary for administrators to discon-
tinue the employment of persons
who are over the age of 65, and ELI
gible for the old age pension. This
added burden upon the poor funds
have compelled the commissioners to
disclose that such funds will be de-
pleted by April, 1887, and the last
payment of each recipient on a per-
centage basis. Needless to state these
| persons by reason of old age will be
the last to be absorbed by private
industry, and through the inadequate
and uncertain pensions these persons
are facing dire straits. Again the
| Montana Federation of Labor by I'M
| animous vote concluded the old age
| pension in this state is inadequate,
| and by reason have ordered a dele
CATION to appear before legislative
| groups in Helena, seeking the repeal
of the statute.
Therefore we submit the following
demands, which originate in the
executive orders:
/. That every certified workable
client in Silver Bow County, regard
less of age, sex or nativity shall be
| placed on a WPA job Immediately.
2. That any worker, who through
sickness is compelled to lose time in
any one working period, shall be
permitted to complete his security
earnings within sixty days from the
time of sickness thereof. Such time
lost shall be deemed Allowable
Time"
3. That in case of inclement wealth
er any worker who reasonably be-
lieves, that by venturing out, he
would impair his health, due to ex-
posure to cold or wet weather and
thereby does not report for work, it
shall be deemed Allowable Time"
and the worker shall be permitted
to complete his security earnings
within sixty days. In case of dis
putes and controversies which may
arise from varied opinions, the
weather-man's reports shall be con-
suited and accepted as best evidence.
a.. That when skilled labor or
semi-skilled labor is employed on
any project in Silver Bow County,
and no recognized trade unions have
been organized and chartered for
that particular labor, it shall be the
duty of the foreman to place On that
work any certified WPA worker,
who in his opinion is qualified, and
no special privileges shall be shown
to any Union.
5. In compliance with the execu-
tive order No. 7046 every city whose
population is $4,000 or over within
a three mile radius from its center,
shall receive a security wage of
$500 per month plus a ten per cent
increase. In accordance with the
last census, the population within a
three mile radius from Park and
Main Streets in the city of Butte,
have exceeded $4,000. Therefore, we
demand that common labor shall re-
ceive a security wage of $57.20 and
skilled and semi-skilled labor to be
raised accordingly.
6. That six hours work shall on
stitute a days work, and that thirty
six hours shall constitute a weeks
work.

faced. Here is what they say in a
confidential report
1.-THE strikes which are gradually
hemming in all the major automobile
companies have not sprung up over
night, but are the result of a gradual
process of evolution in labor's pro-
gram to utilize the highly favorable
general business situation as a means
of pressing to obtain basic conces-
sions from industry as a whole"
The experts tell their clients that
i is their judgment that the auto
mobile corporations would not refuse
to advance wages if this was the
only demand upon the part of the
workers. That it is unionization
rather than wage scales which is the
real issue. They point out that in
the present state of business, an adj
vance in wages could be added to
the price of the various makes of
automobiles which would not ''seri-
ously retard 1887 sales"
UNION is
MOST FEARED
They add, however: "But the issue
is unionization on terms dictated by
the c.. l. O., rather than wage scales"
And that's the truth. The great in
dustries fear nothing as much as the
real unionization of their workers.
The company unions they can con-
troll. Their attitude is the same in
this year 1887 as it was is years ago
when Charlie Schwab of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation said, eve
make our own unions"
If the employers of this country
can continue to control the minds of
a majority of their workers, they
a continue to mint billions out of
their flesh and blood. If they lose
this control then the end of their
arbitrary reign in industry is at an
end. That's the reason why they OPP
pose S 10 bitterly an uncontrolled UNI
ion in their plants.
OTHER WORKERS
MUST ASSIST
Not only is this brave minority of
automobile workers fighting the
hundreds of millions of the automo-
bile lords but these workers are
fighting the billions of massed
wealth of the lords of finance and
industry. It's magnificent, but the
odds are terrific. The automobile
workers can win only if the millions
of workers in the country show the
same solidarity on the industrial
field that they showed a few months
ago on the political field.
They voted for Roosevelt because
of his announcement of economic
and his promises regard
ing wages, hours and the furthering
of the cause of unionism. If Roose-
welt comes through with his prom
Uses, then the economic royalists"
can be defeated by the workers in
spite of the billions of wealth in the
hands of these "royalists." Here's
hoping Roosevelt "comes clean"

CAPTAIN TEST|F|ES
AT SHIP FIRE QUIZ
Brooks Tells u. S. Board He
Saw No Water Coming
From Hose Lines.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 31.-A Federal
board of inquiry heard the command
ing officer of the flre-ravished City
of Baltimore testify today he saw no
water coming from fire hoses used
by seamen on the burning steamer.
The death list Of the fire was def
nitely set at three today. A missing
passenger was located in New York
and the body of missing oiler was
found In the water near the beached
hull Of the ship.
j. S. Polikoff, Aiken, S. c.. attorney,
and Abel T. Wheaton, crew member
from Crisfleld. Nd. died in the fire.
The body of man believed to have
been Cy Haynie, missing oiler, was
found today near the scene Of the fire.
Capt Charles 0. Brooks said the

them.

Il had sent the second mate below
to locate the fire and he blew up the
(Speaklng) tube and said, There's a
hell of fire .. Turn in every alarm
on the ship Later the first mate ran
up and said. There's no water or
nothing and not a damn thing We
can do"
Capt. Brooks said he tried to signal
the engine room but that he could
get no answer from it.
The captain, a sailor on the Ches-
speake Bay for 35 years, was one OF
the first witnesses before the Federal
inquiry board.
Capt. Brooks reiterated his state
rlent that only sabotage could account
for the speed of the fires spread. He
said, 1T Is mysterious that vessel
Of the size Of the City of Baltimore
could take fire and that within five
minutes flames would be bursting yer
her top deck from one end to an
other"
Capt. Brooks also said that a shore
resident near the spot where the shir
was beached told him of picking up a
kerosene can on the beach after the
fire. The City Of Baltimore did not
