ON BEHALF OF HUCKsTERs
Argument in Court Of Appeals Concern.
ing Market Privileges.

The Court of Appeals today heard argu.
ments In the cases Of James Taylor, plain
tiff in error. and Walter R. Sanford. plain
TIL In error. against the District of Colum-
bia, involving the question of the right of
the District Commissioners to regulate b
street from 7th street to 18th street in re-
spect of Its occupation by farmers and
bucksters. The Commissioners. by a reg
uletlon. have excluded the hucksters en-
tirely from the space described and have
authorized the marketmaster of the whole
sale market to mark off spaces on the side
walks and assign them by written permit 20
farmers and gardeners selling produce of
their own raising to the entire exclusion of
hucksters, who, by the regulation, are
compelled to sell from assigned spaces on
18th street. Little B street and on the con-
hguous portion of the reservation between
10th and 18th streets and b and Little b
streets.
1t is claimed that the action of the Com
missioners is unlawful first because they
have not the power to make such a regula-
ton. and secondly, because the regulation
dlscr1minates between two classes of peo-
File In the same business. and intrusts to the
marketmaster of the wholesale market the
power further to discriminate among menu
bers of the favored class-the farmers and
gardeners selling their own produce.
The controversy involved in these cases
has been before the courts since 1895, but
this is the first opportunity given the Court
of Appeals to pass upon it. Among other
contentious made for the hucksters is that
the space in question has been in effect a
public market for a full century, and that
beyond making such regulations as may
tend to preserve cleanliness and order the
Commissioners have no power to interfere
with the carrying on of business there
1t is explained that more than 100 huck-
sters are directly interested in the cause.
