BUCKET SHOPS BEHIND BILL
Charge Made at Anticipation Hear.
ing Before House Committee.
Another Expert Declares Biggest
Gambler of All Is Insurance
Company.

The bucket shops are behind the Scott
bill TO abolish dealings IN futures, &C
cording to j. Ralph Pickell. editor of the
National Hay and Grain Reporter. at
Chicago. who was one Of the witnesses at
yesterdays antI-option hearing before the
House Committee on Agriculture.
Chairman Scott demanded TO know what
Mr.. Pickel meant. The latter explained
that the bucket shops, barred by State
legislation. favored legislation 10 restrict
or abolish the exchanges.
other witnesses heard yesterday in op-
position TO the Scott bill were Vice Presi-
dent Merrill, of the Chicago Board Of
Trade; Edward Culver, chief grain in
spector at Toledo, and the president Of
the Chief Inspectors National -AssocIa-
ton; J. W Snyder. of Baltimore. and K.
T. Cushing. Of New York. Representative
Gronna, Of North Dakota, advocated the
passage Of the bill
Although he had been a member OF the
Chicago Board Of Trade for thirty-two
years. Mr.. Merrill declared he had never
executed a speculative transaction. The
decision Of the Supreme Court of the
United states in the Christy case, he said
had given the Chicago Board Of Trade
clean bill of health. In his opinion. the
Scott measure was unconstitutional. There
was always an intent 10 receive or deliver
in its transactions.
Suppose the Scott bill confines itself
exclusively to transactions where the
buyer has no intent 10 receive or the
seller to deliver" suggested Representa-
tive Burleson, Of Texas, would you then
object TO the Scott bill?"
Not If that is the provision Of the bin, q"
| replied Mr. Merrill.
But it certainly is not" he continued:
let me add that no insurance scheme
could work in place of hedging. The big
gest Spectator or gambler is the insur-
anCe company which bets the face of its
| policy against the premium. The per-
| centage Of the insurance companies that
fail is larger than the percentage of
/ spectators.

happy to see the rank Spectator put

man Scott, he had not figured out any
way by which this result could be &C
cOmplished. Hedging is also essential,
/ Mr.. Snyder said
"All business is speculation, said he.
and the producer is the worst specula-
tor Of all But Il legitimately done. the
| speculation of the grain exchanges is no
more harmful than that INDUCED in by

| He called attention TO the fact that the

he really wanted the wheat, corn, or
what-not for actual delivery.

TAFT APPROVES MOON BILL
Strongly Endorses Injunction Meas
ure in Letter to Author.
President Declares 1t Is I'm Exact
Compliance with Plank in
the Platform.

Strong Endorsement of the injunction
bill which was introduced in the House
the other day by Representative Moon,
of Pennsylvania. is contained in letter
received by Mr.. Moon yesterday from
President Taft. This is the letter:
MY dear Mr. Moon: I have examined
the bin prepared by you in respect to the
procedure to be obtained in the Federal
courts In the matter of issuing prelimi-
nary Iniunctions and restraining orders.
I am glad 10 say that it seems to me to
be exact compliance with the plank in
the Republican platform
Mr.. Madison. of Kansas, introduced
a bill which seemed 10 me also TO comply
with the requirements Of the platform,
but the advantage which your bin mas
over his is that you recognize the dis
tinction which has always been recog-
nized in the Federal courts between final
iniunctlons. interlocutory injunctions,
and restraining orders, and state with
exaetness the ground Of equity, jurisdie-
ton. and the reason for the extraordinary
remedy; and, it is, OF course. OF very
great Importance that in legislation you
should continue those distinctions when
have come to be fully recognized by the
courts.
Il sincerely hope that this bill will be
promptly reported from the committee
and as promptly passed without amend
ment."
''The President agrees with me- said
Mr.. Moon. in an interview YESTERDAY
that the bill goes as far as Congress has
the power to go under the Constitution In
limiting the equitable power of the court
and goes further in this direction than
prudent judges have gone for over
century in the exercise of that power
