Mr.. Partridge Before the Senate Committee
on Labor and Education.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-Mr. Partridge, of the
Produce Exchange. continued his testimony
to-day before the Senate subcommittee on
labor and education. Witness testified as to
corners or gambling as he characterized it,
on the Exchange. Nearly 1000 of the 5000
members of the Exchange, he said, were
gamblers, and the law of supply and de-
mand had nothing to do with this specula-
ton. AS remedy for gambling he said he
would make it a penal offense for parties to
sell what they did not own or control, and a
penal offense for anybody to buy up the
necessaries of life and hold them for specu-
lauon. Witness in concluding, begged to
present through the committee petition to
Congress regarding this evil.
Senator Blair said they would incorporate
the petition in the witnesses testimony
