Bucket shops alleged by Chicago firm in Hardin County probe
John HL Sy, chairman of the gambling committee of the Chicago Cluie Federation, testified before the Hardin County grand jury at Eldora Lowe. He claimed a Chicago bucket shop chain took 880,000 in one week and over 1,000,000 from Iowa in four years, with two former employees saying the business exists only on company books, not in the open market. He aims to gather evidence nationwide to convict and drive out bucket shops, which operate via leased Western Union wires and in towns with new agency setups to dodge legitimate market quotations.
