Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Elevator and Grain Trade, Vol. 23: February 15, 1905 Acting on a charge of apparent unfairness in methods, the grain committee of the Philadelphia Commercial Exchange early in January gave notice to the Keystone Elevator and Warehouse Company that if the said company continued in its refusal to become a member of the Exchange a resolution to prohibit the inspection of grain at that elevator would be passed. No attention being paid to this notice, the said resolution was passed, and ten days thereafter, on January 18, the resolution went into effect and the inspectors were withdrawn from the elevator. The reasons for this summary action are some what vague at this distance, The Keystone Com pany had been repeatedly asked to join the Ex change, but had not done so, nor given reasons why it did not do so. A certain corn broker who twice had tried to engineer a squeeze of the market in that commodity, thinks he could find a reason, since on both occasions, when his squeeze was right and in apparently good working order, the Keystone Company (not regular) would unload its unlisted and, therefore, indefinite supplies into a regular house and unmercifully squeeze the squeezer.
