War on Usurers In City Begins Crusade Against Money Sharks
Governor Stephens Police Commissioner Hawes and Chief Campbell lead a campaign against usurers in St Louis after a New York visit to pressure Western Union to drop garnishment rules. Telegraph workers and others have faced debts up to 50 percent per month, driving some to suicide. The effort aims to curb abuse, with charges pursued free of charge in clear cases. The outcome could affect nationwide lending practices and labor relations.
