The Labor Exchange. What It is. The Labor Exchange is a benevolent association Incorporated under the laws of Missouri and having branches In nearly every state of the Union. It's Object. The object of the Labor Exchange is to employ the Idle, to help the poor by assisting them to help themselves, to establish Justice by making the laborers owners of the property ereated by their labor, and to secure a market for surplus products by facilitating the exchanges of commodities without depending upon legal tender money to effect such exchanges.

It's Methods. The methods of the li. E. vary in minor details according to place and circumstances, but it is on the program of every branch to receive value on deposit from members and to issue deposit certificates for the same. The deposit certificate entitles the holder to draw, to the amount from the L.

E. branch In which the deposit has been made. Should the deposits consist of land, labor, raw material and machinery, an industry is started under the management of the braneh and the deposit certificate are redeemed in the products of the industry. Should the deposits consist of consumable products, a depository is established and the redemption of certificates is equivalent to the exchange of products at a bazar where the producer of one article has thereby acquired the right to ehoose from a eolleetion of articles. How to Acqnire Membership.

Send $1 to the GeneraiOrganizer of the L.E., Olathe, for a life membership (no periodical dues to follow). You will receive in return a blank obligation which simply requires you to refrain from suing the L.E. for legal tender in case you make a deposit and accept deposit certificates for the same. Having received the blank obligation yon fill it out, sign it and return It to the General Organizer. Your certificate of membership in the I.

E. will then be forwarded to you. How to Start a Branch Several members of the Labor Exchange, preferably not less than 15, form an organization by electing officers, and procure a charter which is issued upon receipt of $2.50 and which can be procured through the General Organizer of the L. Olathe, Kan. Having a charter and officers, check and deposit certificate tablets are procured and the branch is ready for business.

Cautions. Deposit certificates can be issued by any branch to any member of the Labor Exchange whether he is a member of the branch or not; but a deposit certificate cannot be legally Issued to any one not a member of the L. E. It is contrary to the provisions of the Labor Exchange to assume any obligations other than what are implied by the issuance of certificates of deposit. Debts payable in legal tender cannot be contracted by a Labor Exchange branch.
