The game here Wednesday be-

exhibition to watch and while the
score ran up rather high this was
not good criterion of the game.
The spectators at the game were
not as numerous as anticipated but
this was accounted for by the fact
that the larger part Of the people
of the city were at Section Thirty

forest fires. Herb Gianotti filled a
position as short stop for the first
time in big company and did fine.

Asked tOPass on
Future Trading
Tribunal TO Decide Whether
Congress Exceeded Author.
ity in Law to Control
Grain Exchanges.

Washington. Feb. 25.-64o)-The su.
preme court. for the second tune. was
asked to determine whether congress,
in it's effort to regulate future trading
in grain and 10 provide for government
tai supervision under which farmers
cooperative associations would be ad-
mitted TO membership on grain ex-
changes. had exceeded It's constitu-
tional authority.
In the former case, when congress
attempted control through its taxing
power. the court held the act invalid.
The government contended today that.
having before It tho decision and the
courts decision in the packers and
stockyards case. congress had exer.
eised discretion which the court had
held II possessed. The packers and
siockyards act. the government in
sisted. il IN all essential features a
parallel for the present grain futures
law
Congress having declared that fu-
ture trading IN grain had a distinct
relation to interstate commerce. II
was not for the court. Solicitor Gen
eral Beck declared. to inquire whether
congress was influenced by an agri.
cultural bloc. but It should accept its
decision with respect to the Interstate
commerce character OF the trans.
actions
Henry $. Robbins. counsel FOR the
Chicago Board of Trade. challenged
the governments contentious. He dis
eussed the case with special reference
to the packers and stockyards act.
and pointed out that interstate con.
troll in tho packers case WAS based
largely upon tho tangible dealing in
an actual article OF commerce The
packers case in no wise referred 20
future trading. Mr.. Robbins insisted.
adding that il dealt with a flow OF
physical property. while the grain fu-
lures act proposed TO regulate all fu-
ture trades in cereals when tho gov
ernment admitted that only part Of
such trades eventually would take the
form Of actual property.
Solicitor General Beck, during his
argument. asserted that thes packers
and siockyards act was so similar 70

ton could not he made between the
two" SO far as their validity was con-
cerned.
