| Show CO SCHEME AND UTAH badens V dabs adebe bag b got back to terre haute indiana and through tue toe days day s chicago record we hear much more mere of his intentions than man he be expressed publicly while in this state how accurately mr debi dabs to reported of course onree we cannot say ay but from frem the high standing of the record as a a rf res poni pon ible sible paper and the correctness of references if Its in some particulars particular with which we are acquainted we feel justi fiedle believing that our chicago chigo go temporary oo has bm quoted the A JL U leader fairly la in one of these tatem eato he refers to mr bohoss speech here bere before the federation quoting the advice for the miners to purchase atmil arm lie he says ay of the members of the tede federation ratIon that they are in an ugly temp erand and ultes in support of his bli the fact of mr boyce being endorsed by the organization there are several interesting features fea turee in mr debi now new proposition eltion as now out linea and there are some ome that are of pedal concern to utah one is 1 that th the american railway union whom convention to te called tor for june 15 will be merged into the hat now new brotherhood of the coop co op oral lve commonwealth whose morn mem to is expected to reach the million within six alx lx months month then than the now new organization to got get political posses poe ion adon of ome western state and there try the experiment of a state detate go eo operative the tac proposes by which his to b to be baa accomplished la is to have bare a million me members od bars contribute regular sums of money then the fund thus raised would be used in sending men into that western or southwestern state where the effort is to be made to obtain n political control after this ha has s been een accomplished shed a constitutional convention would be called and the organic law of the state changed in such a manner as to permit of the complete introduction ol of the operative cooperative co plan A special interest on the part of utah is its liability implied in the present statement to be se selected lemed although the state to be captured has ass not been determined ter mined upon but will be chosen at the in chicago in about three weeks the transformation of utah into such a state as an proposed way may find some difficulty however in the process which would have bave to be hollowed lOll owed la securing a so BO that the people here need dead not worry much in sova ao vanoe uce us as some neighboring commonwealth mon wealth maybe may be agreed on MI as the fortunate spot if the be scheme really be entered upon the now new organization in acting upon an idea that hat haw hav ame force VZ viz the general impression Impre aalon that there Is to be a radical change in the industrial dus du system throughout the count the capacity of the be organization to inaugurate the change is in a different matter entirely As ai to the detail of ef taking possession poss eIon of 0 some western state we are now BOW assured that mat it will not be done by a barue of MOD men as mendicants mendi cants but that mat they hey wili start art from various points in bodies of a thousand or so no and march overland to the number of about having money to them the irbe first army Is in to start rom from Cul chicago cago and by the 16 time it its ita destination un on foot it will have some idea of this the hardships of the enterprise mr debs dabs thinks motey enough can be raised in the organization organ to keep the co opera tive give 0 going till it 11 la is gruly established I 1 while the most sanguine friends of the plan outlined may as well prepare to most meet the be failure which is not only possible but bat quite probable the support which be scheme has received and will secure in the future la in suggestive of two notable features feature viz that in a baglino harmonious combination for or mutual benefit ta in the only hope tor lor he industrial clause classes and ana that the west is the be place of refuge or safety from the ills ilia that portend the mormon people have bale noted acted upon irese PrOP propositions from their early history and the me truth of the be mormon theory Is in being impressed on the mosses masses in a way the latter do not ot comprehend us an yet but bat atio ue culmination is not yet yei reached nor will it ve be in this schema of the brotherhood of the he cooperative co operative cow corn mon wealth As an to the birly airly work of the mor mona mo in utah which mr debs dabs eltes frequently as a showing mowing we the lly ity orble of his claws pla to it may be well to give the records record account ot of what the labor leader h bad as to say 9 mr debs says bays that while in utah he made close investigation of the workings of the original operative cooperative co scheme of abe cormons mormons Mor mons he found that etwas it was perfect until the spirit of commercialism came upon the leaders of the church he thinks that the work ot of the mormons cormons in building up utah out of a desert has not been fully understood because the public knows mormonism only by its upholding ol of polygamy the details ot of the operative cooperative co scheme of the mormons cormons Mor mons however show that it was perfect when asked if the church discipline did not have a great deal to do with making the mormons cormons prosperous and content with their lot he said it undoubtedly did but that in the new operative cooperative co movement there would be equally as strong influences in the belief of those who undertake it in the doctrine of operation cooperation co only such men aj believe in the doctrine as ae devout christians believe in their religion would take part in the movement there are thousands of men who are now believers in the doctrine who a few years ago would not give it thought one of the mistakes mr debs deb makes in that he be will find and men who believe i in to the doctrine ot of operation cooperation co oo independently of religious ties and alma as a devout christians believe in their religion he cannot do it for the rea son that without religion the higher forces are not applied the tha mistake is 38 one made by atheists everywhere and proves fatal to all ail their ob schemes bomes ot of success without god it is a foolish blunder to make but many men are foolish one other item shows that mr D jf ibe has bag lost looi faith to la trade unionism anlon tom as a pau panacea seso for or industrial ills he says bay more here is no hope from these or from political parties and adds adde trade unions are utterly unable to stop atop the constantly lowering of wages simply because these reductions are part of a natural law and are inevitable the grinding sanding process is in the natural result of the e rule of capitalism and no 0 organization r niza of men can uphold wages wrin when the heartless strife for gain is ruling ling all industry and commerce workingmen rk ingmen cannot be held in line for trade union tam ism when they see the futility of these organizations they want something which gives given promise of results and the operative cooperative co scheme appeal to 10 them strongly now as a it never did before in addition to t this the he gentlemen gentleman Is 1 credited with the statement that there is to be a reduction of wages all along tho line in mining railroad service and in all the industries within the next nine ninety 7 days dagg and be does not see 41 how it ca kanbe n be prevented he also says say that the miners are going into cooper afire mining as fast as a they can do so altogether he takes a very tory gloomy v ow ew of the industrial outlook from the operations of the eyster now in vogue and able perhaps by contrast costs casts a more roseate hue bus about his oo co operative scheme |
