FINAL EDITION VOLUME Vil. ——— AMALGAMATION —— ar Ae & INJUNCTION IS ASKED | AGAINST FUTURES ACT Chicago Board of Trade Launches Court Fight to Prevent Gov-| ernment Measure Affecting Grain Trading Is Being Placed in Operation; Bill of Complaint Filed CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—The Chicago board of trade today made its first move to test the constitutionality of the grain futures act when it filed in federal ‘district court here a pe' tion for injunction restraining the government from enforcing the provisions of the act. ¥ District Judge Carpenter issued a stay order preventing enforcement of the act unti!) November 13, when he will hear the petition for a temporary injunction against enforce- ment of the regulating act. ‘The law, enacted to take the place the former Capper-Tincher ®éct, declared unconstitutional by the| supreme court was passed to be- come effective November 1. ‘The bill of complaint, filed by) Henry S. Robbins, counse! for the| board, charges that the law seeks to regulate . as interstate commerce trade that is wholly state; that it in- terferes with estate rights to govern exchanges, and that it «eek to de- rrive board members of thelr prop-} erty by admitting representatives of| cooperative bodies and permitting} them to. rebate commissions, in vio-| lation of rules observed by» other members, Further charges of unconstitution- ality are made on the ground that the law makes violation of its provisions a crime and constitutes the secretary of agtacultuns, the secretary of com: meres) and the attorney general a commission with power to deprive offenders of their rights to thereafter pursue @ lawful avocation; whereas, | such criminal 4aws, are under the constitution enforceable only in courts, “with a jury trial.” i Other ‘sections granting wide pow- ers of contro! to the secretary of ag-| riaaiture, who is given. authority to designate what exchanges shall or shpll not be contract markets, are at- tacked as unsound. Fear of. what might result from the érastic provishtos;of thé law, the complaint says, may bring on ‘fa erlous disturbance of the grain.mar- kets of the country.” “Many owuers of grain,” it states, “will de deprived of the privilege of insuriag themselves against price fluctuations through ‘hedging’ con- tracts and irreparable loss to mem- bers and others would result.” Statement’s contained in that sec- tion of the law summary citing al- leged evils of marketing are attack. ed by the exchange as “inaccurate.” ‘These assertions of supposed evils, the board contends, were disproved at the numerev= signatures on the pill, Statements befoe committea did not show that the transactions and/ Bassett has Siac ea eet SALT CREEK WILL SEND LARGE DELEGATION TG | ASS RALLY WEDNESDAY, a | John Nance, Democratic campaign | manager for the Salt Creek and T ai pot district, is expected to head a ciel | egation of Salt Creek boosters who will attend the William B.
