GRAIN TRADE UPHELD
METHODS OF EXCHANGES DE-
Tended AT HEARING.
). p. Griffin, President Of CHICAGO
Board of Trade. Appears Before
House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Defense of
grain. exchanges and their marketing
methods was voiced by Joseph p.
Griffin, new president of the Chicago
board of trade. before the house agri-
cultural committee IN Washington.
j In response to the demands of the
sfarmers, the committee is investigat-
ing present methods of marketing
grains. which are said to be ininlcal
to agricultural interests because of
the dominance Of SPECTATORS and lhid-
dlemen.
With the aid of statistics, Mr.. Grif-
FIN endeavored to show the faIIaey of
the attacks on grain exchanges sby
farmers organizations.
Without these exchanges, he point
eG out, the farmers would have. no
steady market for their products.
He argued that the abolition of
trading in futures would be the Sc
verest kind ot blow to the farmers
themselves, as it would leave them at
the mercy of the elevator operators,
and there would be no world market
such as the board of trade affords.

of the Shipping Board" was made in the
Senate to-day by Senator Borah Idaho)
during consideration OF a deficiency bill
of s4S. 500. 900 for the board.
Senator Borah declared If officials had
failed to keep a record OF funds received
and paid out, and could give no reason
for expenditures and lossee. it could not
be passed over as mere incompetency,
bus was sheer crookedness."
Declaring that the effort to get at the
bottom OF Shipping Board management
was not partisan, Senator Glass (va
insisted IL crooks should be found they
would prove to be Democrats and Re-
pubiicans alike, an opinion In which
Senator Borah agreed
Throughout the debate on the bill
Chairman Lasker was both criticised
and defended. Senator's New (Ind. }. and

that he would fully sustain his reputa-

Senator Williams contended. on the
other hand however, that any man who
had been on job two months and who
could not tell Congress how it stood
ought to be discharged.
Many Senator'S said the Government
should get out of the shipping business
but declared it could not be done in a
day. Discussing future policy Senator
Jones (Wash.), said Chairman Lasker
had informed him to-day that he was
beginning to think 1t the wiser plan to
cut the operation Of ships to 100 or less,
and to build up from that.
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader,
declared nothing was to be gained by
attempting to turn this matter into
politics."
Referring to claims pending against
the board. Senator Lodge said:
Who piled them up? the Wilson Ad-

grasp of the boards affairs since he
appeared recently before House com
