Restitution battle spurs Illinois local option push
Springfield April 23. Restitution to state officers and bondsmen for fees collected while in office is targeted by the Berry bill drafted by Allen. Local option prospects brighten as the Berry bill passes the senate and faces house votes with strong Anti-Saloon League backing. Labor groups demand clear stance from both parties as fights over convict labor and streetcar safety continue at the capital.
