According 10 MI Allen both he and the bureau
were charged generally with 'nalevolent criticism

dcne pursuant 10 letter from the executive COM
rrlittee recommending the appointment OF COM
r1ittee for the purpose OF asking the Board OF
Aldermen TO give hearing on the proposed oroi-
nance in behalf Of the unions. The acton of the
executive committee was taken az the suggestion
Of James Holland. school commissioner and delegate
Of the Eccentric Firemen's Union.
Some OF the delegates were opposed TO the body
having anything do with the ordinance. Among
them was Rudolph Modest, Of Cigarmakers' Union
No On. who said
nothing 10 prevent the bakers trust from raising
the price Of bread unless the Board Of Aldermen
could also regulate the price In any case II would
be an unpopular measure. What a howl there
would be. for instance. II the Board Of Aldermen
started in TO FIX the exact number Of cubic inches
that would be contained in schooner OF beer
Other delegates said that the people would oe at
the mercy of the master bakers anyway on ac-
count OF the that the Board Of Aldermen could
not regulate the price without interfering with a
mans private business. and prices were subject 10
the fluctuations OF trade.
Delegate Holland this opposition by saying
they were buying & pound a pound and a half
loaf know that they were getting what they
paid for by actual weight. Holland gained his
point and committee was appointed TO ask the
Board Of Aldermen for a new hearing.
