FARMER-LABOR CO-OPERATION
o
due Then docs a nation, if it be wise, admit its obligation
to lend money to other nations, but refuse to become
acquainted with those nations' business affairs and to help
set up better international business machinery?
There is to be a convention in Chicago from February
12 to 15 to form the Ail-American Farmer-Labor Co-operative
Association. It is not to be a political movement, but
purely economic. It has been initiated by the railway broth
erhoods, with the object in view of taking real forward steps
toward reducing the cost of living. It is hoped to unite all
the co-operative agencies in the country on one platform.
The railway brotherhoods have ccme to see that the
increase of wages offers no weapon with which to combat
the risine costs of living, because every such increase means
only another leap in prices. In addition they have lost faith!
in reduction of orices bv governmental action. 1 hey believe
that the association of the farmer and the industrial worker
in a joint effort to reduce prices will have real results in
getting at the real causes of disturbed conditions.
In this connection Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, advocates the estab
lishment of co-operative banks. He says:
"Labor has $40,000,000 in Cleveland which might just
"as well be working for Labor. Four hundred delegates at
the Chicago convention will represent 4,000 co-operative re
tail stores, 37 co-operative wholesale houses and about 300,
OOOfarmers. With these interests, 'the new co-operative
. factories starting and the growing movement all over the
country, a group of 'co-operative banks can perform a big
servce."
If the success of such a theory is to be assumed, the pos
sibilities are tremendous. If the railway brotherhoods have
$40,000,000 in the bank, how much more must all the other
labor unions have on deposit! And if the railway men can
work in direct co-operation with the farmers to a success
ful end, why should not all the other labor organizations
ioin in the movement And if they do. how long could such
a movement remain purely economic and not become a vital
political force in the nation?
The farmer vote and the labor vote have been consider
ed as opposed to each other. The two have hitherto been
counted by the parties separately, and pitted one against
the other by adroit leaders, backed often by nubulous issues
TJnited as one in spirit and desire, one in opinion and inter
est, what could the farmer-labor section of the country not
achieve or destroy?
: o
MERE BUSINESS SENSE
Can America let the rest of the world starve? Do we
feel any sense of ligation toward the less fourtnate peoples
of the earth, who today are described, by competent autho-
ity, as starving?
And if the people of the United States admit the obli
gation of mere humanitarism, by what specious argument is
America kept out of the political tagles of Europe? If
America is to feed Europe's starving, to lend stranded Euro
pean nations the money wherewith to get upon their feet,
to engage in profitable trade relations with the Europe that
is rejuvenated, by what argument is America convinced that
it must not be interested in Europe's affairs?
If we bury our heads in the sands of selfish national
ism, if we refuse to be interested in the affairs of other na
tions, but yet admit our obligation to lend them money and
to feed their hungry, who is to keep us from being mere
dupes and "easy marks?"
If we are to remain in ignorance of what goes on in
Europe, how shall we be sure of the need when our money
is asked for? Does a banker-lend money to a firm of whose
business standing and methods he is ignorant? Or fail
to look ahead to the means of getting it back when it comes
