WASHINGTON, Mny 15.—In-

in Congress next year, as far-as
primaries held to date are a test.
While 13 of the 17 Ohio candi-
dates for the House endorsed by
Father Coughlin's Union for Bo-
ris! .Justice appear to have been
nominated in Tuesday's primaries,
that is the best showing made to
date by the inflationists. Part of
the successful candidates are
Democratic and part Republican,

CHICAGO, May 15.—A ban
against “disorderly conduct" has
been issued by the floor com-
mittee of the Chicago Board of
Trade as a.result of horse play
during recent quim sessions in the
grain pit.
Traders had been applying the
“hot foot" frequently to unsus-
pecting colleagues or flinging
sacks of sample grain about with
wild abandon. -
Irked by thla lack of decorum,
the floor committee promised
summary action to members if the
levity was not brought under con-
trol.
