Colorado farmers are the ones most

the resignation OF the directorate of
the trading company. and have backed
their demand with specific charges.
1t is alleged that the trading COM

that 100000 OF liabilities had ac-
crued before a large portion OF the
stock had been sold.

before the recent meeting OF the union
at Pueblo. Now the resignation Of .he
entire directorate is the only thing
that will satisfy the farmers. Lang
Is now said to have been the principal
promoter OF the trading company.
Other promoters are c. T. Rawalt, r.
