N. S. Staff Correspondent) Washington, May Outlawing of all trading in grain futures was the farm block an the department of agridemand today of the congressional. culture continued 1ta investigation of the recent sensational "raid" of the Chicago. wheat market to find some way to prosecute- speculators under the grain futures act.

Farm bloc members heartily endorsed this move, but Insisted that the administration. formulate legislation prohibiting all grain They urged that this action be taken in the next session of congress. Senators Term It Robbery. Western senators, headed by Nor: ris. Republican of Nebraska, and Ladd, Republican, of Dakota, declared the last "clean up" had created An "unendurable situation." Profits on future trading in grains, they charged, amounted to a robbery of the consuming public.

"To gamble in the price of food is worse than robbery," said Norris. "Thousands of people starve, because of the high price of food, while a handful of men acquire their ill-gotten gains. Congress has, tried to prevent this gambling, government offcials have condemned it and the people protest against it. It is time for the administration to act. "This gambling is done by aire middlemen.

Every dollar they make comes either from the consumer, or the farmer and usually from both. I am ready to act with the department of agriculture at any time in enacting a law to prohibit all gambling in foodstuffs. Norris said he thought the government might be able to punish grain gamblers under the present law, but added "the damage is already done." Senator Ladd, a leader in the farm bloc movement, shared Norris' opinion. "The time has come when all grain gambling should be abolished by law," said Ladd. "I believe this action should be taken at the next session of congress, so as to prevent the kind of gambling in farm crops such as has taken place this year.

Grain speculation is an absolute robbery of the people and should be driven out of Amer. ican life." 54TH COMMENCEMENT U. OF I. STARTS JUNE 12 Urbana, May 14.
