Backers push Capper Tinder bill through house for harvest market
Washington June 23 The Capper Tinder grain exchange bill gains a 226 to 25 vote for a special rule to bring it to passage after a deferral to the deficiency act. Senator Capper and farm leaders pledge swift action in the Senate before the harvest, amid mixed support and opposition from lawmakers and industry figures. Representative Tincher argues the measure safeguards producers and consumers while regulating gambling on food prices. The ruling Supreme Court decision on federal regulation is cited as a backdrop to ongoing concerns about grain exchange practices.
