organized drive has been under

in some instances, practically
destroy labor.
Fortunately, the more radical

at labor have failed to pass,

fortunate. I want to warn our

In various issues of the UNION

paid advertisements of the Spicer

strenuously object to this SEEM

to counter-act the purpose of a
labor newspaper.

waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both. he
that gets all he can HONESTLY

gets necessary expense except

rich"
This is the bunk the National
Association of Manufacturers
tosses to us in our own labor
newspaper. 1t shouldn't be neces-
sary to point out how the big
corporations make their money.
All of us who have to work for a
living know how the employers try
to keep our wages down--lt they
had their way we would not even
get enough of subsiSts on. We
know of the enormous profits they
are making out of this war TO
lend all wars" We know of the
profits they gain from the exploit
tation of the colonial peoples to
the point of allowing these peo-
pies to starve while they grow
enormously rich.
We all realize that stealing IN
the millions is legal (monopolies

preston they were sentenced TO

Enough of this, all we have to

functions all around the world.
This handful of weavers or
ganized the Rochdale Society of
EQUITABLE Pioneers. Pioneers, in
deed! From their small beginning,
with a little store on Toad Lane,
there has developed a network
of cooperative endeavors a n d
projects which embrace the lives
Of millions of people.
In spite of wars, depressions
and famine, the cooperatives
have marched steadily onward,
uprooting greed and hatred and
spreading their philosophy of
cooperation for the common
good.
A WORK ABLE PLAN
While others gable noisily
about the need for postwar
planning, the cooperatives are
busily building on the basis of a
plan for tomorrow that works
today.
Not only does the cooperative
plan work today, but it also pays
off as it works.
Folks who belong to cooper
ative organizations enjoy finan-
cial benefits which flow from
savings in the cost of production
and distribution of the things
people need to live. Instead of
paying fat salaries and profits
and dividends to industrialists,
bankers and landlords - for the
privilege of consuming food,
shelter, clothing and essential
services - the cooperators own
and operate their own stores,
warehouses, factories, ETC., for
their own benefit.
Unearned income is thus eli
minated from the cooperative
economic system.
COMPARED TO CAPITALISM
Compared to the capitalistic
system under which most of us
slave and sweat and suffer, the
cooperative system appears as
working example of how people
can live as human beings ought
to live.
Under capitalism, the greed
diest individuals grab off the
biggest hunks of property and
wealth, and run the economic
system for their own private
gain. Huge fortunes are piled up
in the hands of a few powerful
families. When these piles of
wealth are heaped up high
enough in the hands of a rich
minority, the common people,
the workers and producers, do
not have enough purchasing
power to buy back the things
they produce.
Then the whole works goes
bang and topples over. Unem-
ployment spreads, hunger and
hardship stalks the land; and
when the people get sore and
start to organize for action, the
plutocrats hire a Hitler to keep
order among the masses.
THE COOPERATIVE CURE
Cooperation works the other
way around.
The cooperators own their own
stores. They own their whole
sale houses which supply the
stores. They own their factories
which supply the wholesale
houses. They have their own in
surance and banking system.
Under cooperation, all the
money which capitalism pays to
rich owners as rent, interest,
profit and dividends goes to
the cooperators themselves. Part
of it is spent for education and
expansion. Each cooperator has
one vote, in all decisions of CO.
operative policy, so that demo-
cracy prevails.
Thus, cooperation eliminates
the unearned income which piles
up under capitalism and causes
depressions. Cooperation keeps
the money circulating among
hose who do the work, and pre-
vents the accumulation of for
tunes in the hands of idle para
sites.
Cooperation is the practical
answer to the workers prayer.
