FREELAND, FA., JULY 30, 1902.
FOR PATTISON
A Prominent Independent Declares
Opposition to Pennypacker.
Professor John B. Rcndall. leader of
the Republican-Union forces and who
was elected a member of the legisla
ture on the fusion ticket four years
ago, is the first of the prominent anti
mac-hine Republicans of Chester coun
ty to announce himself as opposed to
the election of Judge Pennypacker. In
giving his reasons therefor he says:
"Judge Pennypacker has himself, in
the studied and deliberate article of a
public magazine, given the most un
reserved eulogy of Mr. Quay ever
given any public man. In his Judg
ment Mr. Quay and his methods are
as near perfection as can ho found on
earth. If the jtidge should be elected
governor, how could he do otherwise
than make all appointments and urge
and approve all legislation recommend
ed by the man who is his ideal and
Idol in public life? With this logical
and moral certainty staring us in the
face, T do not see how men who ut
terly dissent from the principles and
methods that have prevailed can ap
prove such nomination.
"As important, or perhaps moe im
portant. than the governorship, there
are being nominated all over the state
the same men and the same kind of
men as were in the last legislature and
under the same absolute control.
Pounds and pounds of promises they
made, but not an ounce of fulfillment.
And they are making the same prom
ises again today, but they are owned
and nominated by the same masters
who owned them beforo.
"Glittering promises of ballot reform
and an honest count, before election,
lnit bail bonds and alibi for ballot-box
staffers after election; rippers for
cities and communities that will not
how to the yoke; privileges and fran
chises for the select syndicate of poli
ticians. but injunctions for the trolleys j
of the people.
"From the wheat fields and the
mountains of the state there Is a
stern, silent protest going up against
these principles and methods."
INDEPENDENTS FOR PATTISON. j
Professor Rendall spent several
days in town the past week In an ef
fort to crystallize the Republican op
position to the Republican machine
into a tangible and compact organiza
tion. and n general conference will be
held in this place shortly, when defi
nite action will he taken in the ma
turing of campaign plans. The trend
among the anti-machine Republicans
of this county is decidedly toward
Pattison. and the delegates sent from
here to the Union party convention in
Philadelphia, it is said, will use their
influence in having Pattison indorsed
by the convention.
In local affairs It seems to be set
tled that an independent ticket will
he put In the field. This means that a
couple thousand Republicans will he
diverted from the machine ticket, in
which the Democrats see a strong hope
of success, providing they choose the
right kind of timber for the legislature
and county olllces.
Judge Pennypacker will be closely
watched. The Judge, for a proclaimed
believer in dean government, has a
curious entoflrage. It includes not only
Quay and Penrose, arch spirits in the
c ause of machine politics, hut the
watching public does not forget that
Durham is also a main factor in his
elevation and that ex-Senator William
11. Andrews and others of that ilk as
sisted. These men do not make gov
ernors without some object in view.
And now it is proposed to add Stone
by placating him. Truly the exclusive
Philadf Iphlan is having formed for him
a kit* hen cabinet that will bear watch
ing. not ortly by the public but by him
self. W)H he balk? Or will the peo
ple decline, ns they should, to accept
pledges that do not come from Judge
Pennypacker himself, hut from Quay,
with the indorsement of Penrose, Dur
ham, Andrews, Stone et al.?—Pittsburg

LcNMonH In l'nnt Experience*—Some
Remark* From the "Grand Old
Man" of the Labor Movement.
(Special Correspondence.]
Thero Is no greater social marvel than
the manner In which these co-operative
societies flourish. —W. E. Gladstone.
A co-operative business system Is the
world's greatest need.—J. 9. Clark.
The national co-operative conference
held In Lewiston, Me., June 20-24 dealt
with a matter which may become Im
portant to the Industrial world.
Your correspondent has never been
enthuslustlc about Industrial co-opera
tion. When it was asked, Why can't
trades unions buy out the industries
one by one rather than use the money
for strikes? we let the echoes answer.
For the further social as well as ln
dustrlal co-operation Involved In K.a
weah and Ruskln we only looked fear
fully forward for a wreck.
Co-operative failures have often
arisen out of the attempt of too many
people to do too many new things at
once. New things try the nerves, and
people thrown too much together try
one anohier, and they fall out. Wells'
Memorial coalyard proposed in Boston
could not proceed -because it was to
sell coal at cost. That must set every
retail dealer so strongly against It as
to render its work impossible. One
could hardly blame retail dealers for
demanding freight discriminations In
such a case, and freight discrimina
tions kill anything. Some fifty meet
ings wen? said to have been held in
Boston that winter to consider a plan
devised by the celebrated architect
Putnam to employ Idle labor on co
operative buildings, but somehow the
work did not move. What was the
matter with the plan, the labor leaders
or the architect, does not appear. But
as nothing Is more needed than work
for the unemployed and city houses
owned co-operatively or municipally
some way will be found to accomplish
it in time.
Robert Owen was successful so long
as only the benefits of his enterprise
were co-operative. But, according to
Professor Ely, he failed when he made
it too purely co-operative. During the
transition stage co-operators cannot be
too sentimental against some competi
tive features. They must have busi
ness methods which will not affect
the sense of humor of competitors.
They cannot depart too far from the
ordinary ways of the world.
Yet America Is not so hare of co
operative enterprise as those of us who
had not studied It believed. This Lew
iston enterprise does a business of
SOOO,OOO a year, having a beautiful
new sun colored department store, the
largest east of Boston; a grocery store,
a cafe and a co-operative hall. Law
rence, Mass., has six co-operative gro
cery stores, two dry goods stores, a
bakery and stables, with twenty-eight
horses. It does a business of $500,000
annually and lias distributed $300,000
in cash dividends. In Lowell, Mass.,
is a younger co-operative establish
ment doing one-half us large a busi
ness. In California are sixty coopera
tive stores. The Progressive Planing
mill, the largest in San Francisco, is
owned by labor unions. Nearly every
union In San Francisco took stock in
It, and so did some unions in the coun
try. Some employees in u Ixis An
geles laundry asked for higher pay.
They were locked out. They started
a co-operative laundry, which has pros
pered tremendously. Every one likes
to see these union women run a laun
dry. One thousand four hundred co
operative enterprises in America were
reported at the conference, and not all
are heard from, of course. People who
know of co-operative stores ure to
assist by sending names to Rev. lllrani
Vrooman, the president of the Co
workers Fraternity company at Bos
ton.
The new facts brought here of late
from Europe showing the shooting
upward of co-operation in Englund, in
Switzerland and in nearly every coun
try of Europe show that industrial
co-operation is inevitably In line with
our evolution and will be Important
In obtaining the political co-operation
which we all believe In except those
who have machines to elect themselves
to otllce. Professor Parsons, who Is
u civil engineer as well as a lawyer,
has charts which are a revelation. One
long line, which he calls a rocket,
shows the growth of eo operation for
years on a nearly horizontal plane,
but lately It shoots up into the heav
ens.
Sixteen weavers of Rochdale, Eng
land, began buying together until a
store could be established. With their
little educational work, no doubt with
failures here and there, It has taken
sixty-two years to attain to the great
co-operative movement which Includes
In Its membership and their families
one-fourth of the population of Great
Britain and Is adding to Its member
ship now at the rate of several thou
sand per month. By Its size it com
mands everybody's respect It owns
eight steamers which can't be Morgan-
Ized; it has stock in railroads; it has
two of the largest wholesale houses in
the world. A Scotchman said the one
at Glasgow was a half mile square. In
the Glasgow bakery there are a hun
dred employees. The other great whole
sale house is In Manchester. English
co-operators, united with wholesale,
have an annual trade of $341),000,000
and profits of $39,000,000. The cost of
getting goods from producer to con
sumer is reduced from about 30 cents
to about 0 cents. This gives prosperity
to those who co-operate.
The American movement must not
even take sixty-two years to embrace
one-fourth of the people, else the trusts
might embrace us all. This answers
the quostlon so ofton asked the confer
ence, "Why not follow that truly pic
turesque plan of the Rochdale weav
ers, buying together as un agency un
til a store can bo established, using a
portion of the profit for educating oth
ers? When there are stores enough, let
them buy together, as the syndicate
stores do now, until each store can
take stock In a wholesale store. After
this Industries can be established and
ships bought to feed the stores."
This Is the general plan except for
the small beginnings of that fascinat
ing Rochdale story, nnd small begin
nings ure not at all out of place except
•whore large ones could Just as well be
made. We nre richer here. There are
business men who have proved their
ability who are only waiting for a man
like J. S. Clark or for some one whom
the Boston society shall send out to
show this practicable plan to turn
their stores Into co-operative stores
and work on salary.
The successful thing about this plan
of co-operation Is that It nppeals to self
Interest and not wholly to some Ideals
too high for nny but farslglited eyes.
Coworkers, producers, consumers,
share the dividends, Just uniting their
consuming nnd producing power in the
businesslike! ways of the twentieth
century, which we ull like except for
certain cruelties.
A mistake which causes unpleasant
ness In some co-operating localities is
that the minds of some lenders get too
far ahead of the real buslneHs. City
people who don't object to co-operntlvc
stores naturally do object to having
their real estate appropriated In fancy
long before dividends have enabled the
co-operators to offer the cash for the
real estate. Farmers, too, only need
markets and relief from trust extor
tions at present Farmers are not unit
ed in any way that is detrimental to
the public or that calls for Interference
with their real estate from any med
dlesome co-operation. They are the
natural friends of co-operative stores.
They like creameries, and they need
very much co-operative ways of mar
keting their produce. Most farmers are
not peddlers. But the expropriation of
farms or anything which sounds like
that should not be made a pant of a
senseless programme. Special farms
for feeding co-operative stores—there
Is enough to do l>efore that unneces
sary bisk Is begun. To see this only
requires common observation and com
mon sense and no taking notes by any
specialist. The practical result of sot
ting the community's nerves on edge
unnecessarily is a scare of coworkers,
members, stockholders, robbing the
work of Its friends and its most careful
helpers. A leader who knows men
does not stalk away on ahead of them
ull with his face turned heavenward.
A five days' study of the methods
which have stood the test of trial and
of those which haven't has been ex
tremely beneficial to the thoughtful.
The lawyer mayor of Norwich who got
municipal gas came with his two
friends.
lie hinted In his quaint way that a
co-operative store would start In Nor
wich. A goodly number of business
and professional men came from Bos
ton. a nucleus of what looks like a big
movement beginning there. The most
beautiful address of the conference
was made by George Washburn, pro
prietor of a department store and pres
ident of u great Populist club, lie ex
pressed himself sympathetically for
the 800 men who even in this past year
of prosperity had quietly fulled In Bos
ton, "cruelly killed by their brothers,"
falling out so quietly as to be unno
ticed. "Oh, the broken hearts, the
ruined homes, the lost souls!" This
large, prosperous man standing before
an audience In the city hull said, "Co
operation shall have iny life?!" From
so far west us Des Moines, la., came
an ex-congressman. General Howard
of Farm, Field and Fireside spoke to
us. New Jersey sent some delegates.
Philadelphia Quakers, business people,
assured us that they felt It a duty as
Christian people to begin co-operative
work. The Economic League of Con
necticut, which has been electing may
ors on public ownership tickets, was
represented by more than one. Rev.
Mr. Llttlelleld of Haverhill, Mass.,
pledged his life to co-operation. Rev.
Karl Vrooman is Just home from study
In Europe. Hiram Vrooman presided
peaceably. The Jangling notes usually
struck at such long meetings were
sometimes sounded, but the president's
Cones were always musical and his
manners unmilled.
Mr. George E. McNeil came from
Boston to represent union labor. lie
explained that It was of little avail to
buy our victuals cheaper if we did not
co-operate with that great army, one
eighth of all the laborers, who co-oper
ate to maintain clean conditions and to
keep down the hours of labor and to
keep up wages, the barometer of civili
zation. lie usked that lines of union
made goods be kept in co-operative
stores.
The literature printed In Lewlston
bud not the union label, and "the
grand old man" of the labor movement
denounced it with fiery eloquence.
The printer explained that he had
tried to form a union, but that he
could not get a charter because the in
ternational union required seven print
ers in the union, and Lewlston had but
five. Mr. McNeil was satisfied and
smiled with becoming benignity. It
was the sense of the conference that
co-operators should work in harmony
with organized labor.
It is perhaps unnecessary to prophe
sy whether the American people pos
sess the business sense, the patience,
tlie toleration, the faith, the honesty,
the wisdom, to finally co-operate the
trusts out of business, to raise the
credit of their own paper until the
bankers can keep on cornering all the
gold, discrediting all the silver and re
tiring all the greenbacks, without mat
tering very much to us.
