GRAIN FUTURES ACT
LEGAL

Washington.-The United States
supreme court has upheld the validity
of the federal grain futures act.
The Chicago board of trade attack
ed the law. 1t objected to the provi-
sion of the act which prohibits a
board of trade from excluding from
membership cooperative associations
OF producers engaged in the cash
grain business and complying with all
terms and conditions imposed on any
other member.
A previous grain futures act, pass,
ed by congress, was annulled by the
supreme court on the ground that
grain futures could not be regulated
by a prohibitive tax.
The new law is less drastic. 1t
places grain exchanges under govern
ment supervision, but does not pre-
vent future trading and speculation
when carried on by millers and others
''in the course of their legitimate
business"
Dispatches from Chicago state that
officers of the board of trade in that
city will 'cheerfully conform to the
grain futures law in every particular
as interpreted by the supreme court !"
As the law permits trading, the brok-
ers are jubilant.

PHILANTHROPY
Of Steel Trust Charged To
Public

New York.-After the steel trust
secured all the publicity possible for
its philanthropy in raising wages 4
cents for unskilled labor, it raised
the price of steel $1.75 ton.
The wage increase to 40 cents an
hour was spread on the first page of
daily newspapers, but the increase in
steel costs was printed on the mar
ket page.
Defenders of the steel trust ex-
plain that the wage increase marks
the appearance of competition from
outdoor projects for the available sup
ply of unskilled workers. This would
indicate that the "labor supply" is
not yet exhausted, though contrary
claims have been made by advocates
Of free immigration
Last year the steel trust made a
clear profit of nearly, $4o,000,000
after interest and charges were met.
1t has been forced to raise wages from
SO cents an hour to 40 cents, but to
be sure this does not interfere with
it's profit, steel prices are raised $175
ton.

has been released on $4,000 bail to
answer the charge of frst-degree
murder in connection with the death
of Martin Tabert, of North Dakota,
who, witnesses declare, was beaten to
death by Higginbotham.
1t is announced that the parents of
Tabert will sue the Putnam Lumber
Company for $4,000 damages. Hig-
ginbotham was employed by that
company, which has an agreement
with the county authorities whereby
it leases prisoners.
Numerous witnesses have testified
regarding their experience with Flor
ida courts and their sentences to these
convict camps, where prisoners were
fogged. The expose has aroused the
state and in response to that senti-
ment the Legislature is now investi-
eating the leasing and whipping sys-
tenn.
The leasing system has developed
few defenders but efforts to do away
with corporal punishment will be op-
posed Opponents of the system de-
clare that with the abolition of the
county leasing system there is no as
surance of good treatment for the
prisoner.

RELEASE TRADE

New Haven, Conn. - Charges
against Ernest Schleifer, organizer

trade unionist has been dismissed by
Superior Court Judge Webb.
The legality of the charges against
Schleifer is indicated by one of the
demurrers filed by the unionists's
attorneys, and which was upheld by
the court:
"That said information merely
states that the defendant entertained
certain intentions, as evidenced by
certain expressions made by him and
such intentions do not either at COM
mon law or by virtue of any statute
constitute a crime"
The arrest of Schliefer was an at

newspapers were filled with harrow
ing tales of this trade unionist's al
legged misdeeds The plot failed, and
the shop men are as determined as
