The Holiday Association of
Beaverhead County, Montana,
taking notice of the history of
this case, and wishing to bring
the universal attention of the
farmers and workers of Mon
tana to the matter, so that they
may have evidence of how the

than the farmers and workers,
even in the face of the actual
written law, not only in the ad-
ministratiOns of estates, the

in foreclosure and collection by
the ruling class, the owning
class, against the farmers and
workers, made arrangements
