OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Under the auspices of the Grain Dealers

grain growing. shipping and exporting
interests has been called to be held at the
New Willard Hotel. Washington. Satur-
day next. The object of the conference"
is to consider the McCumber and other
bills which have been introduced in Con-
gress providing for the establishment
by the Secretary of Agriculture of. classi-
fication and grades of grain. the appoint
ment of federal inspectors and the prohi-
bit.on Of the using of either grades Great
opposition has developed among the grain
trade to the proposed plan, for the rea-
sons that there will be required very
large number of inspectors: that II is
impossible to have one set of grading
rules apply to the entire country. and
the merchants consider the proposed in
reference with their business by the
government as unwarranted. The present
grading of cereals is almost entirely by
boards of trade and similar bodies and
it is claimed is thoroughly satisfactory
to those dealing in the commodities.
The various associations have employed
counsel who have given an opinion that
the measure as now drawn Is unconsti-
tutional and not within the power OF the
federal legislation to enact, for the right
to inspect goods was expressly reserved
to the states in the Constitution.
