BOGUS COOP UP AGAINST IT

The Cooperative Society of America

ing to Federated Press dispatches
from Chicago.
This concern has been using the
work cooperative" In organizing It's
questionable enterprises with the hope
of inducing people to invest their saw.
ings. and that they have been fairly
successful Is evidenced by the fact
that they owe over fifteen million dol
lars and have little money with which
to Quare accounts. Eighty.five thou.
sand suckers have been roped in. and
these people will probably receive
nothing in return for their invest
ments.
Attempts TO start store In the
Twin Cities were made early this year.
and solicitors worked among the labor
ing people of the cities. That the
scheme was unsuccessful here was
due to publicity given 1t through The
Twin City Review. which from time
to time carried articles giving the lie
gal standing of the concern. and plac-
before its readers.
Notwithstanding the appeals made
in The Review. II is stated that about
fifty local suckers were found.
The Review does not wish TO pose
as the adviser of the public. II has.
nevertheless. an important mission to
fill, and part Of that mission is to Is
sue warning whenever II Is necessary
to do So II has through its affili.
alton with various agencies the means
of obtaining information regarding
schemes of this kind. and II is the
duty of the labor press to expose any
attempt to flim-fiam the people.

mission. THIS is A near approach. In
times of depression, TO the guarantee

Ii is expected that full reports will
show an operating income of $780,.
