decision of the national board Of
jurisdictional awards. The officials
signifled their intention of enforcing
the decision when they met here last

quested by the federal inquiry board.
Mr. Armour characterized himself
as a casual trader" in the grain mar
ket. He denied that Armour & Co,
the packing house. was interested in
any grain deals in which he partici-
does not trade in grain futures.
Tells Of Transactions.
In his preliminary testimony. Mr..
Armour said some of his grain trans
actions were handled by the Armour
Grain Company and some by other
brokers, whose names he declined 10
reveal He declared that he followed
the grain market only casually, and
did not receive daily reports from
the Armour Grain Company. with
whose business he said he was not
sufficiently acquainted to answer
some of the questions put to him.
Both Mr.. Armour and MIR. Marcy

essary medium through which the
farmer finds a sure and constant mar
ket for his grain.
Declared Advantageous.

grain every day in the year." Mr. Ar

it has'stabiIized conditions Generally
speaking. he is better off. I would
say. than without speculative fu-
ture market, because no man in the
grain business would buy wheat until
he had sold it, and you know that
sometimes you have to carry wheat
a long time before you can sell it,
Pressed for answers to questions
relative to his operations on the
board of trade since the wartime
ban on trading in wheat futures was
lifted July Is. 1920. Mr.. Armour said
he could not see that his answers
would be of importance to the in
quiry At any rate. he said he would
have to make estimates of his grain
transactions if he replied to requests
for details.
To Call Other Witnesses.

caeo board of trade. told the commits
