terests in the district court at Fargo,
N. D., in the fall of 1914 asking for
dissolution of the company on grounds
Of insolvency. The case was formally
brought by the attorney general of
North Dakota, but attorneys for the
chamber of commerce were the active
prosecutors and of 200 witnesses call
ed by the state all admitted under
cross-examination that they were en-
ployes or members of the chamber of
commerce. This suit resulted in the
preposterous decision by the presiding
judge that the Equity Cooperative
exchange, North, Dakota corpora
tion, would have to submit all it's
books of account to an examination by
the chamber of commerce of Mime
apolis! After months of untiring ef-
fort to trump up something that would
look like support for their claims of in
solvency, the chamber was unable to
make such showing, and the reaction
from this persecution was the begin
ming of the splendid success of the
Equity Cooperative exchange.

change. This one bank extended but
$4,000 credit, not enough to meet
grain drafts Of the Equity for half a
day! The Equity was denied a seat
on the chamber of commerce and it's
grain was not allowed to be shown in
the sales room. When the Equity had
foul grain to clean and sought the
service of the terminal elevators, serv-
ice was refused. The grain had to be
sold "in the dirt" and when such sales
occurred at prices, necessarily lower
than if it had been cleaned, the cham
ber of commerce proclaimed that the
Equity .'couldn't get the price"
The Equity was forced, in order to
sell on the Minneapolis market, to en-
gage an agent who belonged to the
chamber of commerce, and of course
had to "split commissions" with him.
Equity. grain was generally recognized
as such and no member of the chamber
of commerce would offer as much for
Equity grain as for other grain of like
quality. Hence, until other outlets
were developed, Equity grain was
sometimes sold below prices prevail
ing and whenever this was discovered
the chamber agents in the country
would hold it up as an instance of in
efficiency or fraud perpetrated by the
Equity.
A boycott was declared against the
Equity almost from the beginning of
it's operations. The first boycott cir
cular threatened expulsion from the
chamber for any firm found handling
grain for the Equity. The second
threatened expulsion for any firm
found to have handled any grain
that had ever at any time been in the
hands of the Equity! Buyers were
told that all grain consigned to the
Equity was mortgaged.
