CO-OPERATIVE
The first day of Congreet Monday, wss devoted to the inaugurcd address, of
the Presidaat, Mr. J.C. Gray, General
of the Cooperative U sion, which
sketched out one of tbe boldest schemes ever sabmitted to Congress. In the
oomse of his address tbe President said: There was more in co-operation, he
said, than they had ever seen or attempted to get out of it. Procu 1861 to the
eud of 1905 the profits of co-operative trade had amoented to $153,118,706 i
but the movemsnt had retained or accumulated only onc-fifth of that sum.
The present rate of accumulation wss abont one-ninth of the annual profits.
They had conquered in the field of distribution, and had made great headway
in production, mach more than appeared on the surface. They had done mach
for educstiou snd housiog. But to bis mind the weakness of present day
The
Co-operation was that it rested on the personal loyalty of individuals.
bulk of the capital, also, washeld by very few persons. Thousands bad only
a few sbifiings of financial responsibility, and merely used the Store to obtain
goods at the lowest possible cost. He suggested tbe time hsd arrived for
consolidating their forces snd centralising their purchasing powers, and accumulating capital for wide use in promoting Co-operative production and spreadHe proposed not a federation of existing Societies, but a
ing Co-operation.
bringing together of sll individual merubers iu one national union. He would
proceel as now to sfiocate profits to the members in proportion to their
purchases, but be would not allow more than half the amount allotted to be
withdrawn or paid out. The other balf he would allot to members in fixed
transferable shares bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. Suppose the
profits continued to be as large ss those realised to-day it would mean an
accumulation
of funds at the rate of at least A5, 000,000 annusfiy, which
wonM be constantly used for the extension of co-operative work
Thercc
woold be one Sooiety, one rate of dividend, one cods of rules, and greater
security for iodividusl members.
If you find soything io the suggestions st
afi opposed to tbe true ideals of co-operation, then banish them from your
minds at once; but if you find any truth in my criticism of present methods
and of the dangers resulting therefrom, then lend a patient ear, and act on
what you think to be right. Of one thing I am convinced
tbst if, in your
wisdom, yon think fit to adopt this wider ana grander conception of cooperative ideas snd methods, it will be found that ure are but yet on the
threshold of our great work, snd there will be opened for our movement such
a sphere of activity and usefulness the results of which will make afi our
previous efiorts, great though they be, pale into insignificanc. Then may we go
forward towards tbe realisation of a true Co-operative State or Commonwealth,
wberin justice snd equity shsfi rule; where industry in afi its forcns shafi
receive its jnst reward: where homes shall be made healthy and happy;
where sfi the comforts of life may be enjoyed by those who bove earned them;
and where the poor and oppressed may be uplifted and find rest, and misery
and want be banished from our land. (Applause. )
—
Second Day of Congress. The question of direst representation of Cooperators in Parliament provoked an animated discussion.
Mr. G. Bisect
(Aberdeen) moved, Mr. %. R. Rae (Sunderlsnd) seconded, a resolution reatfirming last year's Congress resolution, that the time had arrived for securing direct representation.
Mr. E. Redfesrn (Heckmondwike)
moved a
resolntion at tbe request of the Central Board, "That inasmuch ss there is no
evidence that the movement is prepared to support direct representation
in
parliament with the necessary finsncial assistance, the subject bo now

useful methods of what are called "collecting banks, you may reach
the very poorest. You may pursuade them to deposit, and having their
deposits, you may easily make them fresh recruits, for their good, in
your societies. You will thereby assist them and turn them into better
citizen. Here, among other things, is a fresh opening for our women
co-operators; !or "collecting" is chiefiy women's work men with their
angular ways, have not sufficient capacity for it. Collecting banks, so I
should tell you, send out their volunteer collectors into factories and
cottages, where they soon come to know their people and to be known
by them. They find out at what times there are odd coppers knocking
about, and with their persuasive tongue and their outstretched hand

I could not bring myself to endorse such a suggestion. The fact

employment of the money. You can collect money easily enough. The
