JOKER. TURN|EDUP'
IN BILL aimed
At GRAIN TRADE
Amendment TO Anti Gambling
Measure Contains Poisoned
Barb for Farm Marketers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
The house of representatives recently
passed at act taxing contracts for the
sale of grain for future delivery and
options for such contracts ("traling
in futures"), and providing for the
regulation Of boards Of trade and
other purposes" This is the anti
grain gambling law for which the far
mers have long waited and worked.
The bill was amended on the floor of
the house to provide that certain
boards of trade. to be designated by
the secretary of the treasury (Who
has charge Of the administration of
the bilD, should be: exempt from the
tax Of 20 cents a bushel placed upon
future trading; and that such boards
should admit ANY duly authorized
executive ~officer of any lawfully
formed and conducted cooperative as
sociation of producers having ade-
quate financial responsibility" and
that such cooperative associations
must conform to all rules and regu-
lations of such board"
Value is Uncertain.
Obviously, the big city boards of
trade should not be permitted to shut
out farmers cooperative marketing
organizations from selling their pro-
ducts-as they have done all too often
in the past. But the proposed amend
ment compelling the admission of
farmers cooperative marketing asso-
Citations to these boards Of trade con-
tains a couple Of dangerous "jokers''
which makes its value to the farm
ers' co-operatives very uncertain.
What does "adequate' financial re-
sponsibility mean? And why permit
the farmers enemies, who: control
most if not all Of the boards Of trade,
to hamstring> the farmers co-opera-
tive marketing organizations by COM
pelling them to conform to all rules
and regulations of such board" True,
the rules and regulations of these
boards are to be subject to the APP
prevail CT the Secretary Of Agriculture.
But can the farmers cooperative
marketing associations of the country
afford to leave the fate OF their organ
izatfons to the decision of an exceed
ing1y busy man, who has so many
other pressing duties that he must
needs delegate such "approvar' 10

right of the farmers cooperative as

Wage Gut Petition; Orders
Conferences Held.

CHICAGO. June 2s.-The Pullman
company lost it's open shop fight be-
fore the United States railroad labor
board when the board upheld the con-
tention of union leaders that the COM
pany had not obeyed 1.-The letter and
spirit" of the transportation act when
it conferred with it's employees in mass
meetings."
The board threw out the COM
pany's petition for a cut in the wages
of ITS shop employees and instructed
it to go back and meet the duly
elected representatives of the en-
ployes.
The shop crafts and clerks in the
Pullman works are involved in the
case. The boards decision will delay
any action on a reduction in their
wages for several weeks. Under the
transportation act the company must
meet the union leaders and in the
file a, petition before the board and
ask new hearing.
Lasted for Years.
The controversy between the Pull
man company and the unions IS
continuation Of labor difficulties
dating back several years. over the
"open shop" The company has de-
cined to deal with union officers in
matters effecting all employees. The
company takes the position that en-
ployes not members Of the unions are
not represented by the labor organi-
cations.
When the company proposed a wage
reduction recently, mass meetings
! were held and all employees were in
vited. Representatives Of the COM
pany'told the labor board whether the
company should be admitted to the
general wage reduction hearing, that
large percentage of the employees
attended, the meetings.
Must Hold Conference.
| Union representatives who charged
discrimination against their members,
declared that the company's stand
was merely another attempt to break
down the labor organizations and
demanded that before the company
should be allowed to come before the
board asking wage cut, it should
hold proper conferences These
conferences, the employees contended,
! should have been held with duly
elected representatives of the en-
ployes and not with the employees en-
