Opposes Margin Reduction.
Secretary Anderson said yesterday
he feels there is sufIlcient specula-
tive money in the grain markets to
provide price protection to dealers
and others desiring to engage In
nonspeculative hedging transactions.
For this reason, he opposed reducing
the 331s per cent margin require
ments. That is the amount trader
must put up with his broker to hold
speculative accounts.
Secretary Anderson said in tele-
gram to the Chicago Board Of
Trade:
I'm view of the 22,000,000- -bushel
trade in Chicago wheat futures on
February 4, the first day of the
break, including million -bushel
short sales by one leading speculator,
we question whether the inability
of hedgers to sell satisfactorily is
attributable to the 331s per cent
margins. r.
The Chicago market had asked
Mr.. Anderson for the administra-
tion's opinion on proposal to re-
duce margin requirements.
A market hedger is one who holds
grain and buys futures contracts to'
protect his holdings against price
change. A short" trader profits if
the market declines. A long
trader if the market goes up.

Publishers and Local
Barred From Role in
ITU Injunction Case
BY the Assoeioted Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-Fed-
eral Judge Luther M. Swygert today
refused to let three newspaper pub
lishers' associations and the Chicago
local of the International Typo
graphical Union join in the Gov
ernment's injunction suit against
the national officers of the ITU.
The judge said that to permit the
intervention of the four groups
would "complicate" the issues.
The office of Robert N. Denham,
general counsel of the National La
cor Relations Board, has asked for
a temporary injunction to forbid
the ITU from seeking-among other
things-to renew its traditional
closed-shop demands on daily news
papers.
Allowed to File Briefs.
Mr.. Denhafn on November q
charged the union with seeking the
closed shop in violation of the Taft
Hartley Act CA closed shop is an
arrangement under which only union
members are hiredy.
The publishers group which
sought to intervene and help the
Denham Office in the injunction
case are the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association
and the Inland Daily Press Associa-
ton. - ',f. -
Judge Swygert said they would be
allowed to file briefs but not to par
ticipate in the hearing.
The AFL, CIO, international As
ISOLATION of Machinists and the
United Mine Workers also were
granted permission to file briefs.
Constitutionality Arguments.
Yesterday Winthrop Johns, repre-
senting Mr.. Denham, opposed the
entrance of the four groups which
the judge turned down today.
The decision paved the way for
arguments over the constitutionality
Of the Taft Hartley Act.
Section 10 CD of the Taft Hart
ley Act, the section which the union
says Is unconstitutional, provides
that whenever Mr.. Denham charges
a union or employer with an un-
fair practice, the NLRB may ask a
Federal court for temporary relief
It authorizes the court to grant
such an injunction as it deems just
and proper. This serves to halt the
alleged unfair practice until the
f1ve-man board determines whether
the party is guilty.
