Report on Mandamus

(Reported by Church, McCurdy & Sher-
man, of the Chicago barr
On February Z, 1906, the Supreme
Court of Illinois refused the applica-
ton of the Sunday Closing League for
a writ of mandamus to compel Mayor
Dunno to close the saloons of Chicago
on Sunday. The Supreme Court, after
reciting the allegations of the petition,
which showed that the mayor had, pre-
viOus and subsequent to his election, de-
clared that he would not, in fact, en-
force the Sunday closing law of the
state and that he had refused to enforce
this law, refers to the statute which
imposes upon the mayor the duty to
see that the laws are faithfully ex-
ecuted and the obligation of the mayor
to do so. The court holds, however,
that while the remedy by mandamus
is one which is allowed for the enforce
ment of some right owing to the public,
the duty must be specific in it's nature
and of such a character that the court
can prescribe a definite act or series
of acts which will constitute a perform

that the court may know that the act
has been, or that a succession of acts
have been, performed, and that the

5. Do you want the public to under
stand that your association prefers the
saloon trade to the patronage of that
class of citizens who want to keep the
saloons away from their homes, to pro-
tect their real estate values as we'll as
the morals of their children? Or does
your association feel so independent that
it can ignore the friends of this bill?
I hope to receive an early reply, and
respectfully invite you to make it pub

ter will be interesting and profitable to
the public.

president of the Retail Butchers and
Meat Dealers Association, have an
nounced that your organization has
gone on record in opposition to the
Tully-W Wainwright local option bill for
residence districts on the ground that
it would result in loss to your mem
bers through the closing of saloons,
which are your best customers.
In view of the relation which this
astonishing action seems to bear to the
MISUNDERSTOOD policy of the brewing
interests of the state and city to attempt
to organize against this bill every bust
ness which has even the remotest col
lateral interest, | desire in this open
letter to ask you certain questions.
1. Was the action prompted by
spontaneous fear of loss of trade, or
was it asked for by saloon or brewing
interests?
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-03-09

2. Was it the action of the whole
association, or of some committee? If
of the whole association, what percent
age of the membership was present?
What was the vote?
s. Has it ever occurred to you that
if some saloons are closed, their present
patrons will have more money to buy
meat and that some men who now
meat for their families?

performance of duties generally-where
the court would have to take charge of
a general course of official conduct and
enforce the performance of official
duties generally.
The opinion was oral. AS it is con-
trary to the decided weight of prece-
dent, a petition for rehearing was pre-
sented but the court allowed it's de-
