NEW YORK.-The British co-opera-
tive movement with S,750,000 mem
bers and retail trade of billion and
a half dollars is standing up we'll I'M
der war time conditions, The Coop
erative League of the USA announced
today. Cooperative members received
over f20,000,000 (s80,000,000) in divi-
dends or savings returns in 1941 de-
spite the war. This represented an
increase of eighty million dollars in
purchasing power, the dividends hay
ing helped to meet the increased cost
of living.
cooperative funds have also made
a huge contribution to national saw
ings," according to the Cooperative
Union news service issued in Man
chester, January and received in
New York, January 26. Retail coop
eratives have total share capital OF
f150,O00,OOO (s600,0O0,OOO) and their
cash investments amount to nearly
e140,000,000 (s560, 000,000). The major
part of these are in British govern
ment securities.
"Officials and employees of coop
eratives have played their part with
heroism which matches that displayed
by our men in Libya and Malaga" ac-
cording to the news service. Through
out the nights of heavy bombing Brit
ish cooperative staffs have worked so
that the next day people could be fed.
When bakeries and shops were put
out of action thousands of extra
loaves were baked by neighboring CO.
operative societies and rushed into the
blitzed districts. Many tales of stole
determination on the home front will
be told when the war is over"
Total sales of the Cooperative
Wholesale Society, central distribut-
ing agency for the British co-opera-
tives, amounted to e103, 652,000 (S414,-
000,000) for the thirty-nine weeks end
ing October IL, 1912, the Cooperative
News reported. This is a decrease of
only 2 Il % from the corresponding pc
Rod of the previous year. These fig
ures, directors of the CWS state in
their report reflect to some extent

which has occurred during 1871.
Goods produced in factories and
workshops owned by the co-operatives
amounted to e33,777,0O0 ($134,000,0 O0)
during the thirty-nine week period, or
an increase of 1 " %. If business con-
tinued throughout the year at the
same rate as it did for the first three
quarters of the year, the business of
the Cooperative Wholesale Society
was well over $62O,O0O,OOO in 1941.

In a New Years message to mem
bers of the British co-operatives, Sir
Fred Hayward, chairman of the Brit

must always remain our duty to de-
velop the resources of the movement
for the protection of the consumer
and to see that under the stress OF
war no action is taken which shall
hinder the movements progress to-
wards the attainment Of the ideals

Now as never before, it is demon

case meant a saving of at least $10,-

the lands involved were school lands"
Bonner asserted. Undoubtedly it
will mean a saving on state lands In
the future, as we'll"
The Montana Association of County
Commissioners, represented in the
case by William A Brown of Helena,
said the decision will mean that land
owners in bond delinquent irrigation
districts will not be forced to let their
land go for taxes, as has been done
in the past.
This will mean a drastic reduction
in the amount of tax-title land Mon
tana counties will be forced to carry
and will eliminate a cloud on the
title to such land.
Much irrigation district land is ex-
pected to go back on tax rolls as a
result of the decision.

board that any railroad is violating

ton made by the railroad and public

such railroad"
On October 9th, it appears that
without any previous notice the COM
mission stipulated that the company
might file a petition to discontinue
train service and then Immediately
proceeded to hold hearing on it,
which confused matters insofar as the
Red Lodge citizens were concerned.
The commission issued an order
that the railroad should not discon-
tinue its train service five days after
the hearing, and inasmuch as the
record of the hearing contained 1876
legal size pages, this haste helped
the company to enter federal court
and make a good enough showing to
procure an injunction restraining the
commission from interfering with
their stoppage of train service, by de-
posting a bond.
A hearing before three-judge fed
eral court was held in Great Falls
on November "a. Attorney General
Bonner, having now taken an active
part in the matter, secured the courts
permission for Attorney Phil Greenan
to appear for the Four Railroad Broth
erhoods and Attorney Skinner repre-
senting the people of Red Lodge. The
commission having apparently failed
to make any effort to secure wit
nesses against the railroad from Red
Lodge on the grounds that 1t was I'M
able to pay fees, Attorney General
Bonner with the support of the attor-
neys for the Brotherhoods and for the
Red Lodge people asked the court to
appoint a special master to take testi-
mony at Red Lodge This the court
granted.
A hearing was held by the special
master appointed in Red Lodge on
January and at which % witnesses
for the people of Red Lodge appeared
and more than hundred would have
testified of the need and desire for
continuance of train service it is said.
The special master will transmit
the testimony taken to the federal
court this week, and Attorney General
Bonner will submit brief in support
Of his contention that the railway
company must continue its train serv-
ice to the people of Red Lodge.
The railroad and public service COM
mission appears to have become bog
ged down in wrong procedure in the
case, however, it is probable that
through the Intervention of Attorney
General Bonner, the people of Red

BUSINESS AS
USUAL" INDICTED
I'm new BOOK
By ROBERT WILCOX

In Michigan today, tens or thou
sands of auto workers are walking
the streets looking for work-victims
of business as usual" For more
than year union leaders begged,
pleaded and urged the OPM and the
auto magnates to put idle machinery
to work and convert the industry to
war production.
But they got nowhere. Now 1,5O0,-
900 man-days of war work are being
lost every week as a result.
The failure of the auto industry to
aid the nations defense effort quickly
and courageously is but the most
dramatic example Of the businesses
usual policy pursued for so long by
the country's top industrial execu-
tives
The same thing happened in indus
try after industry-in shipbuilding, in
aluminium, in steel, in rubber. The
whole story of this disastrous sitdown
by monopoly capital is dramatically
told in Business AS Usual" a book
which ranks among the classics of
this war era
Written by L F. Stone, Washing
ton correspondent of The Nation and
the newspaper PM, Business AS U.s.

places blame squarely on the dollar
a-year men who came to Washington

their own industrial interests.
Stones book was written before the
recent creation of the War Production
Board with Donald Nelson as supreme
commander. The author had the fore
sight to pick out Nelson as zone of
the ablest and most public-spirited of
the dollar-a-year men," Stone points
out that Nelson was on the verge of
resigning from OPM last year in pro-
test against the delays and bitches
which were slowing down the whole
defense effort.
In view of the fact that President
Roosevelt has given Nelson supreme
command of the nations war effort,
workers are interested in his attitude
toward labor. On this score Stone
reports the following:
"The tendency of the retail business
man toward a more liberal attitude
than that shown by the great monop-
olies ha soften been noted. Mr.. Mel
son formerly of Sears Roebuck &
Coz provided an example in defense.
1aodino h11c
man usually prepared to uphold the
rights of labor in the making of con-
tracts and he was the one leading
business man who was prepared to
bargain as firmly in buying for his
country as he would have in buying
for his own company. Both attitudes
were so unusual as to make Mr.. Mel
son soon seem one of the prodigies
Of the defense program"
Business AS UsuaP' is a worth
while volume which should receive
wide circulation in labor and liberal
circles. Especially timely are the
pleas for extending the from
tiers of democracy during the war,
and his closing words on war aims
eff our business men, our workers,
our engineers, learn to work in har-
ness together in the job of defending
America, they will learn how to re-
construct America, and in the flexible
of cooperative industrial
democracy we could have central
planning without central despotism,
free play for initiative without free
sway for exploitation. The energies
called forth to defend America could
be used to rebuild an America without
poverty and without fear"
