THE CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE COMMITTEE 



In 1898 delegates from various co-operative societies, viz. the 

 Co-operative Slaughter-houses (Bacon Factories), two Associa- 

 tions of Co-operative Dairy Societies, the Co-operative Whole- 

 sale Society of Denmark (F.D.B.), the Danish Co-operative 

 Egg Export, and the Jutland Co-operative Society for the 

 Purchase of Feeding-stuffs met in Copenhagen and decided to 

 form a Central Committee for mutual help, and to represent 

 the societies in their relations to others. Since then repre- 

 sentatives of other co-operative associations have from time

 22nd June, 1917, a resolution was carried unanimously that 

 the C.C.C. should in future consist of 22 members elected as 

 follow^s : five by the Central Organisation of Danish Dairy 

 Associations ; three by the Co-operative Distributive Societies 

 as represented by the Danish Co-operative Wholesale Society 

 (P.D.B.) ; two by each of the following : the Co-operative 

 Slaughter-houses, the Jutland Co-operative Society for the 

 Purchase of Feeding-stuffs, the Danish Co-operative Bank, 

 the Danish Co-operative Manure Supply Society of 1916 ;

 Co-operative Supply Societies, the Islands Co-operative 

 Society for the Purchase of Feeding-stuffs, the Funen Co- 

 operative Feeding-stuffs Company, the Danish Co-operative 

 Egg Export, the Co-operative Cement Works, and the Danish 

 Co-operative Coal Supply. The C.C.C. at first met in Copen- 

 hagen, but in 1910 moved its headquarters to Aarhus. The
