Supreme Court Upholds Law On Trading Objections Re moved by Congress. Washington, April 16. The grain future trading act was declared valid and constitutional today by the su preme court. It was the second time the court had passed on the validity of a grain future trading law, a previous stat ute based on the taxing power of the federal government having been held unconstitutional. The law upheld to day was based on the right to con- trnl fntprstatp wiramprw. Chief Justice Taft, in delivering the opinion, said the decision in the former grain futures case was an ar- gument in favor of the constitution- alitv of the rtrpsent law. because in the latter congress met the objections which the court had pointed out as having rendered it invalid. It is impossible, the court said, to distinguish between transactions in cash grain and in grain to arrive from stock shipments which the court had held to be interstate com merce. The grain exchange, the court said, was merely the gateway thru I which the grain flowed in its course from the westto the east and to Eu rope. Sales on the Chicago Board of Trade are as necessary to the con tinuity of this flow of grain,, the court held, as are stockyards sales in the movement of cattle. It was add ed that the evidence showed that fu ture trading does have an effect on the cash price of grain. The fact that corners in grain have been brought about by dealing in fu tures evidenced, the decision said, the relations between future deal ings and cash grain. The Chicago Board of Trade, the court concluded, is engaged in a bus iness, which makes it subject to na tional regulation. Justice McReynolds. and Suther land dissented. HENRY FORD THROWS HIS HOSPITAL OPEN TO VETS Detroit, April 16. Henry Ford slashed through the maze of red tape that kept 200 to 300 wounded war veterans of Michigan from govern ment hospitalization today by throw ing open the doors of his big hospi tal here to every disabled ex-service man and woman in the state. Ford's action came after a confer ence with Alvin M. Owsley of Texas, national commander of the American Legion. Owsley told Ford of the fight the Michigan veterans were making because the government had not seen fit to cut the formal procedure thru which applicants for government aid are forced to go. After hearing the story Henry Ford reached for a telephone and in structed the superintendent of the Henry Ford hospital to take in at once, any man in need of hospital treatment who had papers showing war service.
