lieved of Complying With
Contested Portions of
Act Pending TYt.
Washington, Dec. 13. The su
preme court yesterday announced a
modification of its order of Novem
ber 21, suspending the operation of
the future trading act while the
pending test of the constitutionality
of the law is under consideration.
The modification is designed to
protect members of the Chicago
board of trade who are contesting
the law but who feared that, in ease
the law is held constitutional tinder
the terms of the supreme court's
original order, they would be subject
to the collection of the prohibitive
tax of 20 cents a bushel imposed by
the future trading act upon dealings
in futures outside of a contract
market.
Under the provisions of the mod
ified order the secretary of agricul
ture is authorized to designate the
Chicago board of trade as a contract
market without requiring it to com
ply with the conditions' 'imposed by
the contested portions, of the act.
The contestant also are required to
give bond of $25,000 and to pay any
damages that may arise as a result
of the order.

Wallace, aecretary of agricultural,
who ia here attend the annual meet
ing of the Iowa Fair Manager'
association, laid today.
"I believe the dopreision has
slacked up considerably already,"
Mr. Wallace said.
Mr. Wallace was asked if he
thought the farmer should burn liis
corn.
"This ia a matter for intelligent
thought and decision," he replied. "If
the farmer needs the money ana
must make a lacrifice to get money
with which to buy fuel, and if he can
burn corn at aaving over the cost
of coal then I believe it is all right.
"However, if the farmer can hold
his corn for hiehcr tin'ces. which I
believe will come, and if he can buy
fuel cheaper, then he should save
his corn."
