The services of solicitors are retained by the Union for the purpose of giving legal advice to those Societies whose circumstances require it. 4. Small and struggling Societies are helped and advised by the Members of the Board and the Officers of the Union. 5. The Union is governed by a Central and United Board, in connection with which are several special Committees organised for special work, viz. :— (a) An Educational Committee, whose work is to organise Co-operative Education. (b) A Committee on Production, to promote Co-operative Production. (c) A Joint Parliamentary Committee, to look after the interests of Co-operative Societies so far as they may be affected by Parliamentary action. (d) A Joint Propaganda Committee, whose special function is to work with the Wholesale Societies in forming Co-operative Societies under a Special Propaganda Scheme." (e) A Joint Committee, acting with the Trade Union Parliamentary Committee, for the purpose of settling disputes in connection with Co-operative employment. (f) An International and Foreign Inquiry Committee, to open up communication with the Co-operators of other countries, and to obtain information regarding the development of the Co-operative Movement in other parts of the world. The funds of the Co-operative Union are raised by subscriptions from the Societies which become joined to it. The subscription is fixed by rule at the rate of 2d. per member per annum. The Union has now 1,135 Societies included in its membership, and these Societies have 1,724,961 members. The Societies which remain outside the Union number 513, and have 194,594 members.
