BY the AssociAted Press

BY the Associated Press
Recently proposed new rules of trad
ing for the Chicago Board OF Trade
designed to curb wide price swings
and to eliminate other alleged evils In
. the present system were given tacit
approval last night by Secretary jar
dine, with the admonition that unless
the changes were made promptly he
would be forced to action looking to-
ward abolition of the board
The changes in the boards rules, to
become effective must be approved by
vote of the membership, which VIII

II the changes as outlined by the
Caniza tons board of directors be-
come effective the new rules will go
long way. in the opinion of Secre.
tary Jardine. in ''rcfiecting a true
supply and demand situation in the
Chicago market"
The boards plan to set up com
mittee of business conduct. whose
members would he pledged to refrain
from speculation during their incum-
bency. was viewed by the Secretary as
the most far-rea ching of the proposals.
In recognition of the merits of such
board, the Secretary has authorized
the department to turn over to such
committee, if and when it Is set up,
such information and data acquired by
the grain futures administration las
Z may he necessary for effective control
of the board of trade and as the Secre-
tary of Agriculture may determine can
be made available to it consistently
within the law"
Facts Formerly Withheld.
This information, which was gath
cred in the departments investigation
of the Board of Trade the Secretary
explained. has heretofore been with.
held from officials of the board beca use
of the possibility that some members
might use it to personal advantage
rather than for elimination of the
evils which the grain futures act
sought 10 eliminate.
Discussing the proposals before the
board the Agriculture Secretary said
Jardinr Demands Action.
Recognizing that the wild fiuctua-
tions in the quotations of May wheat
We're, in the opinion OF the depart
ment. due to manipulation, | cannot
escape the conclusion that it is i'm.
perative for the Board of Trade, with
out delay, TO set up the administra-
tiOn machinery to prevent recurrence
Of such a condition.
A failure on the part of the board
to take these steps Immediately Will
leave to me, under the plain terms of
my obligation, no alternative than to
inaugurate action looking to the sus-
pension or revocation of the designa.
ton of the Chicago Board Of Trade as
a contract market. In these circum-
stances time is the essence
Among suggestions offered by Mr..
Jardine after the departments inves-
tigation of grain price fluctuations
were the establish hment of a modern
clearing house and the giving of non-
resident members of the board vote
by mail The first suggestion was ;
adopted September 3. and the latter Is
included in the most recent recon-
menda tiOnS.
