291 - L Dec. 3; ed:2/1 - The subject of organizing cooperative societies
in larger cities of the east is being discussed, the object being to
enable the poor to buy food cheaper than they can get it from the middle
men. "The practicability of such societies is proved by the fact that
in England, as late as last April, there were 300 organizations of this
kind with a membership of 100,000, and showing in every respect most
desirable results." (5)
