GRAIN EXCHANGE PLANS TO BUILD 40-STORY HOME Will Stand Where Chicago Once Barred Structure Third Smaller. BY R. FRANKLIN MERRITT United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 7.—On the same site where thirty-seven years ago a thirteen-story building was deemed "too great a contrast” to other buildings nearby, a forty-story building is to be erected here, to house the ever-increasing business of the Chicago Board of Trade. In 1891 a four-story superstructure which towered over the ninestory Board of Trade building was torn down. It was feared it might fall and it offered too great a contrast to other buildings in youthful Chicago. A searchlight gleamed from the top of the old building at the time and it was Chicago’s boast that it could be seen for ten miles. The lights from the loop can be seen—for many times ten miles today and the Board of Trade building is dwarfed by the skyscrapers which now surround it. 82 Members in 1848 From the organization of eightytwo men in 1848, when only small amounts of grain were grown each year the board has increased its membership to 1,600. Membership recently sold as high as $17,500. More than 400,000,000 bushels of grain are received in this market annually. This is equal to twenty trainloads of fifty cars each day for every working day of the year. As much as 2,000,000 bushels has been received in one day. The new Board of Trade building, on which construction will be started this year, will be located on the site of the present building which was erected in 1884. The exchange will move into temporary quarters on Oct. 1 and the new building will be completed in about a year and a half. Use Indiana Limestone The main portion of the building will be twenty-three stories, with a superstructure for the remainder of the distance. The exterior will be of Indiana limestone with a twostory polished granite base. Brokerage houses, stores and shops will be on the first floor and the second will be devoted to investment, banking and brokerage houses.

Guns Rarely Flashed in Dry Raids, Says Winkler

‘No-Rough-StufF Edict to Have Little Effect on SU’~ forces. The edict from Wasnington, “No more rough stuff” in prohibition enforcement, means no change in the behavior of Federal dry agents in Indiana, said George L. Winkler, deputy prohibition administrator, today. , “Since I took over this job a year and a half ago,” Winkler said, commenting on the pronouncement from Dr. J. M. Doran, prohibition commissioner, “there has been no unnecessary ‘rough stuff’ countenanced.” Winkler’s men are armed, but are CITY AWARDS SIX CONTRACTS Improvements Will Cost Nearly $13,000.

under strict orders not to display firearms except in their own defense, defense of a fellow officer or when reasonably certain they will encounter armed opponents in the course of a raid or arrest. Rarely Flash Guns “We rarely have to flash guns in making arrests at residences or drink parlors,” Winkler said, “for these people have learned that no resistance is the best way out. The agents are warned not to damage any property in their search for hidden liquor. I had to discharge an agent a shopt time ago who violated this order in his zeal to search a loaded truck. "It’s down in the hills of southern Indiana where stills are raided that men have to go ‘wired.’ Ordinarily, its a question of first on the draw when raiding a ‘hill Billy’s’ still. We do, of course, smash up stills and mash containers in such cases, but never more than that.” Await Word on Exams Under Winkler’s regime, agents have fired on alleged violators on three occasions. In each instance the violators were found to be transporting liquor or manufacturing it and in each case the wounded man recovered. Winkler has not been informed officially regarding the examinations to be given agents. Meantime, those of his force who passed the earlier examination, are wondering if they will have to take the new one, even though it is said to be easier than the first. '

STRIKING MINE FAMILIES LIVE ON $5_A WEEK Union Benefits Are Only Income for Hundreds in Pennsylvania. By DEXTER M. KEEZER PITTSBURGH, July 7.—Housed in rough shacks that are much more effective in absorbing summer heat than they were in repulsing winter cold, hundreds of union coal miners' families in this district are continuing the amazing demonstration of I how a family of six can live on an income of $5 a week. The income is computed from the strike benefits being paid to the families of miners who have been on strike more than fifteen months. The allowances are $2 a week for men, $1 for women and fifty cents for each child. Thousands Leave Fields Os the 45,000 union miners in this district when the strike started April 1, 1927, several thousand have gone to Detroit where they have found employment in the automobile industry. Odd jobs to make a little money are much sought after, but jobs are far from plentiful in the mining districts. Strikers say labor for the reopened mines is so plentiful that they cannot hope to cause a shortage of workers, but the type of labor is unskilled and unreliable, costing the operators more per ton of coal than skilled union labor. Wives Are Undaunted Unless the system of strike benefits, dispersed through central commissaries at wholesale prices, breaks down, the wives of the miners say they are prepared to stick it out. “This is pretty bad,” one mother of eight said today, “But it is no worse than we would have as a regular thing if we gave i p the union and went back and took just what they wanteed to give us for wages.” APPLES IN DEATH ROLE Accusing Boy of Theft Precedes Slaying at Aurora.
