GRAIN TRADING BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Measure to Control SpecuIa-
tion in Markets Now Goes
to Conference.

Inc Capper-Tincher grain trading
control bill passed the Senate yester-
day. It took less than two hours,
most OF which was devoted to a
speech by Senator Capper. republican,
Kansas, and now goes to conference.
AS it passed the House the bill i'm
posed prohibitive tax upon puts
and calls and other speculative trans
actlons, and also upon exchanges
which do not become contract mar
kets, under government supervision.
1t also admitted cooperative associa-
tlons to membership upon exchanges.
The principal Senate amendments
propose to modify the records which
members and exchanges must make
OF all transactions to be available to
the Secretary of Agriculture, to sus-
pend members under certain condi-
tlons. provide for government public
ity of Investigations conducted and
business transacted. permit co-opera-
tive associations to rebate commits
sions and release sales of cash grain
for deferred shipment from the oper-
alton of the act.
Senator Dial. democrat, South Caro-
INA, did not press as an amendment
his bill to regulate grading in cotton
future trading, stating that the Sem
ate agriculture committee intended to
give 1t special consideration and he
hoped for early action upon it.
In statement issued after the pas
sage of the bill Joseph P. Griffin,
president of the Chicago Board of
Trade, said that while the legislation
was not considered necessary, in view
of public sentiment for the regulatory
measure the grain exchanges would
bow to the great force of public
opinion He added that the Senate
amendments had removed from the
bill many unfair and burdensome
conditions"

REFUSE DISPOSAL
PLANS OUTLINED
Supt. Hacker Proposes Re-
movaI of Dumps to Land
Outside City.

Erection of a modern trash plant
| In one of the industrial sections of
the city and the purchase of land
outside the District for a public dump
are recommended in the annual re-
port Of Morris Hacker, superintend-
ent or city refuse, submitted to the
| Commissioners yesterday.
Supt Hacker tells the Commission
ers tnat there Is no place available in
the District limits to meet the dump
requirements of the city and that the
| tlme mas come when dumping ground
| must be acquired outside the Dis
| trict.
Suggests Large Ihcinerator.
An incinerator of large capacity
would be of service in reducing the
| waste material to smaller bulk, but
| IN any event property where waste
material can be dumped is urgently
needed. the report continues
Mr.. Hackers report shows that the
garbage reduction plant at Cherry
illi, Va, was operated AT a loss Of
S3s,966 during the last fiscal year.
This result. he says. is due largely
to the low prices prevailing for the
grease and tankage to which the
garbage is reduced
The net cost of operating the plant
; was $194.16274, and receipts from the
sale or grease aggregated S155,196.61.
Durlng me hscal year the city col
| lected 6O.05S tons of garbage, the
largest amount on record
Ash Collections Less.
Because of the mild winter last
year. the total amount of ashes col
lected was less than for the preced-
ing year.
Mr.. Hacker points out that the city
is now operating ash. trash and gar
barge collection plants. and he adds
that the wisdom of doing this work
as municipal function rather than
by private contract has been dem
onstrated.
