Each individual member of a co-operative society works with that interest which is inseparable from the new position he enjoys. Each has an interest in the other.

Labor can and will become its own employer through co-operative association.

There would be no idling in a co-operative workshop. Each workman, being an employer, has a spur to his own industry, and has a pecuniary reason for being watchful of the industry of his fellow workmen.

The great advantage to labor arising out of co-operative effort has been apparent to me for many years.

The employee is regarded by the employer merely in the light of his value as an operative. His productive capacity alone is taken into account.

In a very alert and bright state of society people learn co-operation by themselves, but in older and quieter conditions of laboring enterprise, such a bill as I propose will point out the way to mutual exertion.
