were low, at last are to be brought face to face
with the law.
e The chamber Of commerce, its officers and d-
$rectors, are summoned by the federal trade COM
mission to appear before that body at Washington,
D. c., February Z, to answer charges of unfair and
illegal practices, carried on ever since the time
when the late George LOTUS was campaigning
through the Northwest for farmer corporation.
LOTUS was branded as a crock by the grain gam
blers and their organs, just A. c. Townley is now
being branded as crook, but when LOTUS died,
because he had not gotten proper medical atten-
tion, found that he was almost destitute and
the farmers of Minnesota and North Dakota set
about to obtain fund to support his widow.
n The Manager Publishing company of Mime
apolis, publisher Of the so-called eco Operative
Farmer and Manager" and its officers, are also
cited to appear before the federal trade commission
This pretended Aco-operative" paper, which led the
attack on the late George Loftus is charged by the
federal trade commission with having conspired
with the chamber Of commerce to break up the
Equity Cooperative exchange and other co-opera-
tive enterprises, with which LOTUS was connected.
John Fl. Adams editor of the "Co-O Operative
Farmer and Manager" one of the men charged with
conspiracy, is the Adams who raised the funds
to fight the North Dakota industrial laws in the
federal courts .

9 That the said members Of the respondent cham
ber of commerce are possessed of great financial
power and that by the use thereof, and with COM
munity of stock ownership, interlocking interests
and directorates among themselves, together with
the assistance of said chamber of commerce and
other so-called regular grain exchanges with inter-
locking memberships and intimate community
rules, purposes and action, now have and for sew
eral years have had monopoly in the selling buy
ing and distributing of grain at Minneapolis Minn
and within radius Of 100 miles thereof"
BROKERS CHARGE FARMERS FOR
SERVICES NOT RENDERED
That members Of the chamber Of commerce have
instituted a system by which exorbitant fees are
charged for handling grain that brokers are COM
PEELED, under the rules Of the chamber, to make
charges for switching, inspection, weighing and
freight whether these services are actually rem
dered or not.
3 That the chamber of commerce has adopted it's
own criminal system by which members who charge
commissions less than those fixed by the chamber,
or who fail to charge for switching, inspection,
weighing, freight, ETC., when these services have
not been rendered, can be tried, found guilty and
fined from $3.50 to $1,000.
That the chamber Of commerce authorizes the
payment of 81 900 rewards to '.informers" who will
give evidence showing the violation Of any Of these
unfair rules. zS
That the chamber of commerce refuses to admit
to membership any cooperative farmers organiza-
tion which prorates its earnings back to the
farmers.
That since the Equity Co Operative exchange was
founded by farmers of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, under the leadership of George Lof-
tus, the members of the chamber of commerce and
the Go Operative Manager and Farmer" have been
engaged in a confederation and conspiracy among
themselves entered into carried out and conducted

time to time various newspapers, periodicals and
pamphlets"
That travelling solicitors and agents of the cham
ber of commerce and it's members also have been
engaged as part of the conspiracy, in making false
misleading and unfair statements" against the
Equity exchange Gust the travelling men have
been organized to attack the Nonpartisan league)
That in pursuance of this conspiracy members of
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce "institubed
and carried on almost entirely at their own expense
during the years 1914 and 1915" three lawsuits
against the Equity Cooperative exchange. One of
these was brought in the of the attorney gen
eral Of North Dakota, thus showing how the power
of the chamber of commerce controlled the political
affairs of that state before the Nonpartisan league
was organized.
In addition the federal trade commission points
out that the chamber of commerce maintains tele-
graphic market service which it supplies generally
to thousands of brokers, hotels, restaurants and
persons who are not it's members" but that "pur-
suant to the said conspiracy and as part of gem
eral plan to embarrass said competing exchange"
(the Equity, it has refused any service to the
Equity and it's members and has induced other ex-
