NEW BRIEF FILED
Article Questions the COnstitutiOnality
Of Grain Futures Act.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. IL. - The
Chicago Board of Trade filed in the
Supreme Court today a brief ques-
tioning the constitutionality of the grain
futures act.
Pointing out that the law was in
tended to replace the futures trading
act recently declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, the brief, pre-
pared by Henry S. Robbins, stated that
the present act attempted, as did the
preceding one, to bring under the con-
troll of the secretary of agriculture all
grain exchanges which conduct trading
in grain for future delivery. The pre-
sent law, it insisted, re-enacted YER
batim the regulatory features which
the court pronounced Objectionable.
The enforcing provisions of the two
acts differ, it was added, the former i'm
posing a prohibitive tax on future
transactions except by owners or upon
contract markets." with heavy penalty
provided for its violation, while in the
| present law the same object was
sought by prohibiting the transmission
| of orders for future trades unless the
| transactions is on ian actual con-
tract"
an short, both acts the brief states,
adopt the same method to compel the
exchange to submit to federal control
by penalizing those who participate in
its future trading. if he exchanges does
not thus submit"
The former law was held uncopstitu.
tional, it insisted, as mot within the in.
terstate commerce or taxing power OF
Congress. and the government, it add
ed, by reason of the former decision
cannot now assert that future trading
is interstate commerce, or that Con
gress under its commerce power car
lawfully enact the more important sec
| tions of the new law.
No orders have for the last ffteer
years occurred in future trading il
grain on the Chicago Board of Trad,
or the other echanges, the brief asserted
adding that such future trading haC
never been successfully resOrted TO fol
the purpose of manipulating or control
ing the prices Of grain. Future trading
does not cause the price of grain 10 b,

asking now that the long threatened
Ruhr occupation has become an estab-
hshed fact.
Outside Of the usual "flaming pro-
tests against Frances new act of
violence and breach of the peace
treaty" the present administration has
done nothing to counterfeit the French
move so that now the greater part of
Germany's coal and ore resources are
in the hands of France. The Reich
stag has already divided into two al
most equal parts because the social
democrats have refused to have any
thing to do with what they call the
"Stinnes government"
There is a popular movement on
foot today TO stage vote of con-
fidence for Chancellor Cuno so that the
public. which is already depressed,
will not become so demoralized as to
offer open violence to the authorities.
But no matter what the vote may be,
it seems certain that the Cuno cabinet
can last only a short time longer.
When Cuno became chancellor he step
ped into red hot frying pan and when
he tried to save the situation he
jumped into a white hot fire.
The German people realizes only
too well how difficult the situation
is for Cuno, but the general opinion
is that at present no government can
last without the support of the labor
ing population which has no represen-
tation in the Cuno cabinet. The
chancellor made oyertures to the So.
cialists Thursday, but the only reply
he received was that although they
would vote for him, they would have
nothing to do with his cabinet.
The working men. including the
communists, all demand Chancellor
Cuno's resignation and the formation
of cabinet in which the labor element
shall prevail. Because 90 per cent of
the people in the newly occupied area
is composed of miners and iron and
steel workers. the labor unions insist
on an opportunity to negotiate directly
with the French.
1t is announced this morning that
the Reichstag has refused Belgian and
French newspaper correspondents per
mission to attend the session at which
the vote of confidence is expected to
come up.

FRENCH COMMANDER
FORCED TO WAIT ON
ESSEN BURGOMASTEF
Germans Protest Display of
Military Force Against
Defenseless Population.

Essen. Jan. 12.-How the CONNIE
err of the French troops of Occupat. 70
had to wait half an hour on the city
hall steps for the burgomaster of Essen
was revealed today.
General Rompel. commanding officer
of the Essen district, attended by a
contingent of French troops, called Mt
the city hall yesterday afternoon. He
sent his representative to notify Burgo-
master Luther that he was waiting on
the steps. Word came back that the
burgomaster was not in. but that the
deputy burgOmaster would receive Cen
cral Rompel in his office, as he was
not accustomed to go to the door to in
terview callers.
Ten minutes later General Rompel
sent French captain TO say he wished
to see Burgomaster Luther himself but
not until 20 minutes after that was a
message sent to the French commander
to the effect that Herr Luther had re-
| turned and would receive General Rom
pei in his office. Thereupon the gen.
eral, accompanied by some of his staff
officers, went 10 the burogmaster's Of
flee, at the door of which q French
guard was Immediately mounted.
General Rompel explained his mission
and said he did not wish to place I'M
necessary burdens upon the shoulders
of the population. The burgomaster re-
piled, protesting strongly at ''the to-
tally illegal application of military
force against a disarmed and defense
less population" He declared that any
action of his would be taken only be-
cause he was unable to resist the gen.
erals military force.
The French commander replied that
he noted Herr Luther's protest, and
saluted; then the burgomaster formally
bowed and the general departed.

GREENWOOD LAMENTS IMPROPER FLAG USE
Legion Head Cites Cases Of Those
 In Authority

|. "Those in authority who should set an example for private individ- uals seem to be the last ones who will cooperate with the American Legion in teaching the people of Bir mingham the proper way to display the United States flag" Arthur Greenwood. commander of Brming ham post No. 1, American Legion, said Monday night, referring to the flags displayed over the federal building some hours after sundown. "We are not trying to dictate to the custodians of the building, but have been to see him and asked him to cooperate with us in the proper display of the flag, which as yet he has not done"
 When asked about individuals who displayed their flags after sunset, MT. Greenwood said he had seen several individuals who always pointed out the federal building as the example they were following.
 According to the authentic code of tives of 6S organizations which met in Washington Flag Day, June IA, the flag should be lowered at sunset and raised at sunrise. Part of the code says: "The flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset, or be- tween such hours as may be desig- mated by proper authority. It should be displayed on national and state holidays and on historic and special occasions. The flag should always be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously"

AT THE LYRIC

''Six Cylinder Love" Is hitting on all twelve and burning the highway of amusement at the Lyric this week where this sensational comedy suc- cess is being presented by the popu- lar residnt company.
 Russll Fillmore, Birmingham's own stage success, has the featured role, and he is said to do excellent work in "Six-Cylinder Love-" which Is be- ing offered at the Lyric this week. A critic wrote of the play:
 'Six-Cyllnder Love comes from the talented pen of William Anthony Mcclure. author of It's Boy' and other highly prosperous and popular plays. Mir. Mcclure has earned him. self the distinction of being one play wright who succeeds in mingling drama with humor in the deftest manner, but, even better than that, of creating characters and setting them on the stage in such manner that you are completely lost in the illusion, and find it hard to realize that you are in the theatre, so human are all his men and women"
