Roy Clifton, of Consumers‘ Coâ€" cperative, Timmins, gave a most inâ€" formative talk entitled, "The Coâ€"operâ€" ative Movement as an Improved Method in Sccial Mechanics," tracing the deâ€" velcpment of the plan from hs mcep ion to the present time. The coâ€"operative idea, Mr. Clifton reâ€" lated, commenced in a small town in England in 1844, fathered by a group of twentyâ€"eight practical men who had taken various means to better wages and ccnditions for cmployees in the milling industry. they had resorted ‘to strikes in ar attempt to accomplish their ideas, to no avail.

In those days it was not uncommon to encountâ€" er plaster of paris in flour and many other impurities in much of the food offered for sale by unscrupulous merâ€" Finally the group siarted their store which was to be the forerunner of the coâ€"operative the world over. With the 28 pounds in money in the treasury a store was rerted and a small stock of butter,. catmeal, sugar, and fiour was offered for sale. > 4 From this modest beginning, which _R.
