Chicago Trade Saga it is Fair but Prefer Federal Action
Chicago butter egg and poultry trades resisted a local cold storage bill to be voted Monday night, aiming instead for a federal standard under Heyburn. Mayor Harrison warned he could veto if impractical, while traders expect passage locally and advocate nationwide uniform rules for ten to twelve month storage limits and inspection requirements. The group on the committee included Eldridge, Heggie, Oxley, Brown and Schilling. In Fennville Michigan, the July 26 report notes a very light pear crop, damage from last winter freezes to peaches and cherries, but a solid currant and raspberry harvest with raspberries moving for weeks.
