iherif ore produced under conditions
necessarily making it difficult to-hold

To overcome this phaee, the union
is every where ,ad opting the policy of
erecting warehouses in which cotton
can- be stored, properly bonded, and
certificates . -representing a certain
percentage ot race value used as
collateral for loans.
