NO SMOKING on TRADE.
Chicago Board of Trades Old Rule
Against Smoking Revived.

Against SMOKING Revived
Chicago. Dee. 3-The proceedings of
the board Of trade directors yesterday
ended in smoke Such. was the frank
declaration of Secretary Stone Several
matters of Importance were to be con
sidered in the weekly meeting of the di-
recUors. but that body of Sedafe Specu-
lators decided to drop business for the
time being and devote its attention to
matters coming within the province OF
the sunday school and anti cigarette
society.
The board of trade includes on its
list Of membership some of the most
prominent business men of Chicago
They all smoke cigars and not q few are
inclined to waste their spare moments
in the enjoyable but not strictly digni-
fed past time Of reducing the cigarette
supply
In fact many q respected member Of
the board has been seen to enter the pit
with a pipe held firmly between his lips.
1t may interfere with his bidding, but
he does il simply because it pleases him.
Hence the action Of the board OF direc-
tors.
John Hill. Jr-. brought the matter be-
fore the board and after a short discus
sion yesterday it was decided TO post
pone the matter until next week. Then
came the reform movement.
It appears that there has been an un-
enforced rule on the books of the board
forbiddIng smoking in the pit and on
the floor of the assembly room The
z
persisted in smoking cigarettes and the
old timers who cling TO strong cigars
and briar pipes have of late raised an
objection.
They assert that the quotations on
the board are dimmed and the voice of
the crier made husky by the smoke
The reform movement was uppermOst
in the minds of the majority of the
board and one member after many
sleepless nights of research among the
amendments to the constitution and
house rules discovered the particular
article forbidding smoking during the
daily session OF the board
other matters were dropped temper
af1ly and the house committee was in
slructed TO relieve members of their cf-
gar stumps. cigarette butts and strong
pipes. before being allowed to enter the
