CHICAGO GRAIN TRADE TRoCBLEs-At a
nameTousIy attended special meeting of the
Chicago Board OF Trade last evening, it was
resolved to request the Directors OF the Board
TO engage counsel and defend on trial those of
Its members who have recently been arrested
on charge CT violating the law against gam
bling in grain. 1t appears to be the unanimous
determination OF the Board to fight the ne W
law on the ground that it is unconstitutional al,
and to test its validity in the courts.
Hon. a. w. Mack, of kankakee member OF
the State Senate. and who was the author OF
that part of the Warehouse Biz which re-.
lates TO gambling in grain, was present at the
meeting. and declared that the law was not
intended, and could not be construed to ter.
tere with the ordinary course Of trade; the
Intention was to correct certain abuses in.
dulged in by grain spectators who had no
capital TO trade with, and whose only bust
mess was betting on prices. He declared
that stin order to secure conviction
1t must be affirmed not only that the
parties making the contract had no intention
OF delivering or receiving the grain, but that
1t was gambling TRANSACT in itself We
doubt not that Mr.. Mack's opinion in this re-
gard is correct, and we, therefore. repeat our
ADVICE to the Board OF Trade. that they en- :
force the law in Its spirit and intention, W hich
could not injuriously affect the interest of an y
regular dealer in grain. The intention is not
TO iniure but to protect the legitimate grain
