COMPANY, CHICAGO * BOARD LOCK HORNS Cargill Head Issues Defiant Statement Explaining Re- fusal to Follow Orders Chicago, Nov. 18—(P)—A statement by President John H. MacMillan, Jr., of the Cargill Grain Co., Minneapolis, that legislation may be required to prevent the Chicago board of trade from exercising “dictatorial” powers stirred speculation Thursday on the outcome of the exchange’s controversy with one of its leading members. MacMillan’s statement was a reply to charges preferred by the board ‘against him and his associates for al- leged violation of rules in connection with the September corn “squeeze.” Pres. MacMillan said Wednesday the exchange had been partisan in handling the market situation last September and had promoted short selling at the expense of farmers and Merchants, MacMillan declared “we have no apologies to make for this action,” referring to his company’s refusal to obey the board order. “No arbitrary or capricious action of any committee of the Chicago board of trade can ever force me to sell, re- gardiess of price, property of which I am trustee for my stockholders, Mac- Millan said. ‘Traders considered MacMillan’s dec- laration as an indication further bellion against board orders may be WEATHER FOREC: For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and little change in temperatui For North Dako Partly cloudy tonight and Friday; somewhat, colder extreme southeast tonight.
