Riles License Ordinance Defeated by City Council Panel
Chicago November 13 Amid a push by a minority of produce dealers and support from some trade groups the proposed license ordinance for commission merchants and dealers was shelved by the judiciary committee. By 10 to 3 vote the panel rejected the plan that would bond and license all dealers and give city authorities broad reach. John Mitchell led the defense, backed by Frank Sweeney, while August Geweke testified the trade seeks fair practice and that legitimate merchants face no trouble.
