What a Co-operative
Packing Plant Means
to the Northwest
Under the present system, the co-operative ideas of the Equity
Co-operative Packing Plant at Fargo operating at a capacity, will
b© able to save the stockholders on commissions and yardage alone
a total amount of $75,000 per year. This saving would in less than
six years' time pay for the entire plant, or in other words, the en
tire stock raised in North Dakota alone in one year would produce
a saving on commissions and yardage an amount sufficient to pay
for the entire plant in less than one year's time not mentioning
anything about preventing excessive shrinkage on long distance
hauls.
We will leave it to the farmers or stock raisers just what
profits they have been giving away to middlemen that should
really belong to the people who rightfully earn this margin—the
producers.
VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY
As evidence to show what packing centers will do for the de
velopement of livestock in arty state, there are now located in the
following states of
ILLINOIS 9 cities Operating 37 P. Plants
IOWA 10 cities Operating 13 P. Plants
MISSOURI and KANSAS, 10 cities Operating 29 P. Plants
NEBRASKA 4 cities Operating 10 P. Plants
WISCONSIN 6 cities Operating 13 P. Plants
Three of these Wisconsin plants are operated on a co-oper
ative basis and are making progress regardless of all the criticism
given by parties UNFRIENDLY to CO-OPERATIVE movements.
These plants are all of modern construction and so arranged to
operate economically and utilize all by-products the same as the
large packer. Many packing plants are independent of the large
packers. Throughout the United States there are nearly 1,000
plants of various sizes, but the large packers control only about 65
per cent of the entire meat supply. This leaves still a lfirge field
for' independent co-operative packing plants.

the List of Packing House States. Success

LIES
New Daily Paper
North Dakota has a new daily news
paper friendly to the farmers and their
organization—the Nonpartisan league.
This paper is the Public Opinion of
Bismarck, which has been published
as a weekly in the past. It has now
been changed to a daily and will join
the Nonpartisan Leader, the Fargo
Courier-News and the dozens of farm
ers' weeklies all over the state in the
fight for democracy for the farmer.
Public Opinion has a daily wire
service by which it receives all the
news of the United States and the
world. It has also plenty of news
features, many of them illustrated, and
above all it is keeping up the fight for
the farmers and their administration
at Bismarck and combating the lies
circulated against the farmers' move
ment by the kept press of Big Business.
New Labor Paper
Organized labor In North Dakota
secures a newspaper of Its own in the
"North Dakota Labor Leader," now
published at Grand Forks. This paper
will stand as the only labor organ in
the state* as organized labor has repu
diated a pretended labor paper pub
lished at Fargo for the purpose of at
tempting to stir up trouble between
labor and the farmers.
Peter Morgan, manager of the North
Dakota Labor Leader, is a member of
the executive board of the North Da
kota State Federation of Labor. Be
cause of his official position with the
state federation of labor Morgan was
discharged by the Grand Forks Herald,
his former employer, last summer, at
the same time that the Herald took its
stand against organized labor, as
well as against organized farmers,
by discharging the president and sec
retary of the state federation. The
editor of the new paper is E. B. Slsson.
The first issue shows it to be a patrio
tic sheet, devoted both to forwarding
the cause of the nation and to uphold
ing the rights of the working man.

All the charges brought against the League—that it is a traitor and disloyal
organization, that it is pro-German, that it is a partnership, with all the members
liable for imaginary debts (the last an old fiction from North Dakota sprung
recently in Minnesota)—these charges, one and all, have had the effect of mak

new dope to inject into the farmers if he wants to "bust up" the League.
