MORE EARRESTST0
FOLLOW THAT
OF SCHENCK
Incensed Stockholders of Union Trad
ing Company Plan Reprisals on
the Men Who Roped Them In.

Denver, May 3.-That S. Z.
| Schenck, former president of the I'm
ion Trading Company, who drew the
tat salary of Sl4 900 year and had
large expense account, will be the
most frequently arrested man in Col
| orado seems probable from the num-
Der OF complaints that have been and
are said to be waiting to be filed
against him.
Schenck was arrested in this city
last Saturday on four complaints al
leging that he obtained money under
false pretenses while president of the
Union Trading Company, and has
been taken to Glenwood Springs.
When he arrived in Glenwood five
more complaints of similar nature
were waiting. BY the end of the
week others will be lodged against
him and he will be made defendant
in perhaps 20 different actions. The
total bond that will be required will
be required will be at least $4,000.
officials of the company, who were
elected about two months ago to sue
coed Schenck and l.. U. Guggenheim
of Pueblo are in Denver inspecting
the books OF Receiver W. c. Weaver.
President c. b. Coffin of Rifle is said
to have given out the following in
teryiew yesterday:
The arrests will not stop with
Schenck. The officers of the concern
who were in collusion with Schenck
in voting him a salary of $1,000 a
year for every store in operation will
probably be placed in jail, or at least
some of them. The sale of the four
teen stores brought $4,000, and
there is an equity of $4,000 in real
estate left for the stockholders.
We will be able to get at all of
the shady transactions just as soon
as the bankruptcy proceedings are
cleared up and we can get possession
of the books. We have already
found that Schenck loaned $4,000
from the funds of the Union Trading
Company to a coal company he was
interested in at Pueblo. All we have
Is note to show for that
In order to get subscriptions to
stock, Schenck misrepresented the sit
uation to investors. He told them
there was no promotion stock and
obtained large sums. The stockhold-
ers first learned of the contract
whereby he got $1,000 year from
fourteen stores in October of 1911.
We tried to force Schenck and Gug-
genheim to get out; but they would
not resign. Since then we learned
that Schenck also had his pliable
board of directors vote him $4,000
in stock. They refused to give up
the minutes of the meeting"
The Union Trading Company was
formed in 1908 as an offshoot of the
Farmers Union, but with no direct
connection. George b. Lang was one
of the founders. 1t was organized to
operate cooperative stores on cash
basis, and 500 of the best known
farmers and business men of the state
became interested in its work.
