MAY FOUND
UNION STORES
Sentiment Among Miners
Is for Co-operation.
Business Houses May Be
Established by the Mine
Workers—ldea Not Unani
mously Favored.
The action of the state senate In
hampering and delaying the passage of
the hills proposed by the miners' union
has aroused the mine workers through
out the anthracite region. The prob
able failure of the company store bill
act, by which it was proposed to tax
these Institutions out of existence, has
caused the miners to look about for
some other method by which this evil
can be overcome, and a sentiment in
favor of co-operative business has set In.
The matter of establishing general
stores in this region, under the auspices
of the union, is being discussed Infor
mally by the members of the United
Mine Workers and the idea Is gaining
many friends. It is claimed that such
stores could provide mine workers with
all they require at lass cost than tho
same goods can now be purchased.
The matter, It Is said, will soon bo
brought before the union for considera
tion.
On the ether hand, opposition against
co-operative stores has also developed.
It Is alleged by those who do not favor
the move that past experience should be
considered by laboring people before
they give their sanction to the founding
of such stores. The same plan, it Is
said, was tried in this vicinity years ago
by a miners' union and met with failure.
What the outcome of the movement
will be is not known. It Is certain that
If It comes before tho onion for discus
sion the question will be hotly contested
by Its advocates and its opponents
latter will have tho assistance of those
now engaged in buslnass in the region
and such Influence will not be an un
important factor In tho discussion.
