At a festival in Manchester to celebrate the formation of the hundredth branch of the Women's Co-operative Guild, Miss Tournier, the president, opened the proceedings with an address on "co-operation as a means of giving the labourer the comforts of material life and reasonable leisure for the cultivation of his intellectual and spiritual powers." Miss Catherine Webb read a paper on "The Women's Guild and Store Life." She gave suggestions "for making the guild a social force in the co-operative societies." Miss Clementina Black read a paper on "A Natural Alliance." She said "trade unionism and co-operation were parts of the same economic movement." On the last day of the festival, Mrs. Acland briefly spoke about the ways in which "women might make their influence felt in the co-operative movement without in any way interfering with their home work and influence." Mrs. Vaughan Nash read a paper on "Co-operative Production and the Needs of Labour." She said that "the independent co-operative workshop failed to meet the industrial requirements of the day." This was discussed by several ladies present. Mrs. Knott read a paper in which she advocated "a closer participation by women co-operators in local affairs, such as school boards, boards of guardians, and municipal matters." Her paper was discussed by several ladies present. Miss Llewelyn Davies gave the concluding address.
