Planning a Co Opcratlvc Store
Burlington railway employes who are
members of the unions are planning the
establishment of a system of co ojMjra
tive stores with Lincoln as tho central
distributing point where tho main
house will be located Branch stores
are projxjsed for Wymoro Havelock
McCook Alliance and Omaha This
matter has been under consideration for
some time and is fostered by the labor
organizations to which the men belong
It was discussed at the last Sunday
meeting of railway employes in Lincoln
as weie other matters relating to pro
tection of members and employes of the
road Sessions of representatives of
these unions were held Monday and
yesterday at the Lincoln hotel and much
caution has been exercised to prevent
the proceedings from becoming public
up to this time It is understood that
at the Sunday meeting the matter of
freight rates reduction was also discuss
ed and that the employes of the road
have lined up solidly against further
encroachment on the revenues of the
companies
Concerning the plan to establish co
operative stores tins statement was
made yesterday by those interested in
the work of organization
The executive committee of the
union railway employes which has been
meeting at the Lincoln hotel for some
time used considerable time today in
discussing the advisability of formulat
ing i plan for the incorporation of a
joint co operative wholesales and retail
store of gigantic proportions A board
of trustees were elected to carry out the
plans as authorized by the executive
committee The outlying districts seem
enthusiastic and are continually send
ing in inquiries as to progress
It is proposed to establish branch
stores at Wymore Havelock McCook
Alliance and Omaha with a main store
at Lincoln as a center It is figured
that about twenty per cent can be
made and this profit the organization
thinks can be well used for the further
ance of union work The plans while
not complete were discussed at length
and a board of trustees was elected to
carry out the plans outlined by the ex
ecutive committee The ground plan
somewhat resembles that of the plan
used in the establishment of the co-operation
book store at the state univer
sity only of infinitely greater propor
tions It is planned that in time the
store can own its own buildings and
place halls at the disposal of the various
organizations for the permanent homes
and club rooms besides furnishing nec
essaries for considerable less to the
members The executive committee in
session represents the order of railway
