FATHER DIVINE’S PLAN
MODEL CO-OPERATIVE COMMUNITY
“ANGELS” TO WORK WITHOUT PAY [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] NEW YORK, 26th April. It is announced that Father Divine intends to attempt to convert the entire Ulster County into a model cooperative community, similar to Mr Upton Sinclair’s proposed “production for use” communities in California. Father Divine is now operating 25 farming and other enterprises in the county. He hopes, financed by the public, to expand the holdings on which “angels’ ’will work without pay, but with a higher standard of living than in the Harlem slums. Ulster residents are alarmed and rebellious. They fear that further inroads of negroes will ruin the hotel and boarding house business.
