Kirkham, manager, says that each department has experienced people to serve members of this first consumers' cooperative in Salt Lake City. Joseph Anderson is president of the new cooperative. It has grocery, meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, and delicatessen departments. Those who are unable to visit the store may telephone their orders and they will be promptly delivered. The cooperative boasts of more than 600 members. It is organized under and by the authority of the provisions of the Corporation Act of Utah. The objects are to promote the economic welfare of the members by utilizing their united funds and efforts for the purchase, distributing, and production of commodities, and for performance of services in the interest of the members in the most economical way. Non-Prof- it COOPERATORS MEET TO HEAR TALKS members and prospective members of the Utah Consumers Cooperative Association met at the 12th and 13th ward house to discuss the future of cooperation in Utah. The speakers of the evening were Dr. Francis Kirkham of the National Youth Administration, and M. I. Thompson, editor of the Utah Labor News, who pointed to 50 years of successful cooperatives in Minnesota and the middle west. President Joseph Anderson had charge of the meeting. The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE President Roosevelts message to congress, published in another column of this issue of the Utah Labor News, made one thing clear: He is today exactly the same man the American people sent back to the White House last November. He reaffirmed every principle he stood for during his first administration and advocated during his second campaign. He stands unflinchingly for the masses of the people, has not departed a single step from his faith in the principle of NRA the principle of shorter hours, higher pay, and elimination of sweat shops and child labor. His shafts at the supreme court were superbly fashioned and reflect the views of a great majority of the American people, who have observed with growing impatience the stubborn determination of a majority of the judges to pervert and torture the Constitution into a barrier against progressive legislation. The court deserves the rebuke given it by the President. In the last few days we have noted that some of the most conservative newspapers in the nation reluctantly conceded that the court appeared to be more bent on defending its economic predilections than expounding the organic law. thing more than a mere political party.
