st. Paul. March 27.-J. G. McHugh,
secretary of the Minneapolis chamber
of commerce, explained to the Teigen
investigating committee today the
method of obtaining samples of grain
for use on the floor OF the exchange.
According to Mr.. McHugh, the rail-
road and warehouse commission pro-
cures samples of all grain shipped to
terminals and for its Office records.
With the approval of the commission
and the shippers, samplfng companies
also obtained samples for the floor OF
the exchange.
If the samplers for the private COM
panies reach loaded cars first they re-
move the seals and replace them with
seals authorized by the state commits
sion. This custom has been followed
for years, Mr.. McHugh declared, and
no criticism has ever before been Of
fered by shippers or other persons.
