Directors of the Chicago butter and egg board, it was learned today, have prohibited further trading in futures, giving as a reason a desire to help the government as patriotic citizens.

From an authoritative source it was learned that the inveetigations of the grand Jury during the last month has disclosed the following facts:

That butter and egg dealers h^ve entered -into' oonspinacles tin restraint of trade 'by hoarding supplies.

Tha£ prices have been fixed arbi­trarily by agreement.

That prices, under these agreements, have been manipulated up and down in accordance with a fixed program, ignoring th& law of supply and demand.

That the work of the grand Jury, whose sessions have closed, Is but the beginning of a thorough probe Into the entire subject was indicated by an an­nouncement by iDistrlct Attorney Clyne that the June grand Jury will take up the task where It was discontinued by the May body.

(By the terms of a resolution unani­mously adopted by the Chicago but­ter and egg board during the day, all trading in "futures" is to be discon­tinued indefinitely.

"Whereas, there Is a widespread and growing opinion among the people at large." tbe resolution states, "that sal *i of 'futures' In food-*products result in advancing prices of these products, a conclusion to which, however, we are not prepared to subscribe,

"And because of the prominence of Chicago as a food distributing center, we deem it our duty to so conduct our .business as a board as to remove any possible cause for complaint and there­by prevent, aa far as we are concerned, unrest and dissatisfaction among our fellow countrymen that might give comfort to IhA nation's enemies at home or abroad and furtfier their machinations against tMs government."

The egg men, operating on the Chi­cago hntter and egg board, are charged with 'violation of Die Sherman anti-trust law. Sixteen individuals and nine firms are named.

v Vv.44 GERMAN PEACE MOVE FAILURE.

Grip on Soaialiet Parley Slipplngt Msy Net Send Delegstea.

London, June X.—Fears of success of Germany's peace efforts through the International socialist conference ere fading daily, and the opinion grown that pro-ally sentiment will domlnste the Stockholm meeting to such an ex­tent as will overcome the generally wi­dest red results of Internationslism.

The belief now is spoken that the German hopes of packing the confer­ence and winning the nominal sn]H>ort of socialists all over the world have been dashed to the ground, with the result that Berlin may even refrain from aendlng delegates.

Socialists here believe the conference, which was started by German machin­ations. will throw off the control of its creator.

There Is a possibility of Germany, • through her delegates, being forced to reveal her war objects and post-war | plans for democratizing the govern- | ment.
