The present organ OF the movement
which is mentioned in the complaint,
is said to be owned by a separate cor

was started by an individual with nei-
Their type nor presses. 1t was then
said that the Equity society subsidiz-
ed it about $4,000 year, presumably
for subscriptions. A few weeks later
a corporation was organized and bill
of sale recorded that $4,000 was paid
by the corporation for the Herald. The
paper is ably edited and devoted to the
propaganda Of cooperative ideas and
the interests Of the Equity society.
