LACKED CLEAN HANDS
Chicago Board Of Trade Defeated In Court
Because 1t CANDLES In
Margins.

Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 25-Judge Shiras
has written the opinion for the United
States court of appeals In the case Of
the Christie Grain and Stock company
ct al, appellant, VS.. the board of trade
Chicago, appellee, reversing the decis-
ion Of the federal court Of Missouri
and remanding the case to that court
with instructions to dismiss the bill at
compliments cost. The Chicago
board of trade secured an Injunction
in the lower court against the Christie
company restraining it from obtain
ing from the telegraph companies any
Of the quotations furnished by the
board Of trade, alleging that the quo
tations were private property and
could not be furnished except upon
contract
The testimony developed that IS per
cent. of the transactions Of the board
was gambling in margins, that by ad-
mission Of the board it was shown
that it maintained bucket shops. On
this evidence the appellate court holds
that the board of trade did not come
into court with clean hands, or for a
lawful purpose and clearly it was not
the duty of court of equity to grant
any relief prayed by 1t, that the trans
actions was IN violation OF the statute
Of Illinois and therefore unlawful.

NEW YORK STRIKE EFFECTS
Summer Idleness Said to Have Produced
Conditions of Destitution.

Summer IdIeness Said to Have Produced
Conditions of Destitution.
New York, Sept 25.-Following an
extended inquiry in the great centers
of population on the east and west
sides Of Manhattan borough of this
city, where thousands of toilers reside,
The Evening Post publishes an ar
ticle asserting that the summer strikes
have brought deprivation and want to
many workers and seriously injured
the trade Of the small shop keepers.
The article says in part: During
the summer there had been many pro-
tests against the condition of trade,
owing perhaps to the fact that the
past summer was exceptional In the
matter Of weather, and business there
fore not Of normal character. But the
quest developed the information that
on both sides of the city the strikes
which have called a halt In the con-
struction Of many buildings, which
have kept iron mills idle and left the
stone mason and the housesmith de-
pendent upon their unions for support,
have played havoc with the trade Of
the small dealers
In the list Of small dealers are to
be found the butcher, the baker, the
tobacconist, the dry goods dealer, the
druggist and the keeper of the laundry.
The quick lunch man has suffered
through the cessation Of work amongst
those who were his patrons. In many
cases it was not possible to obtain de-
tails of the decrease Of business, as
tradesmen seemed unwilling to admit
that they had suffered"
