A case was docketed in the Su-

which will result in settling the valid
ity of the city ordinance requiring
that every loaf of bread be labeled
with its weight. The filing of the
case marks another step in the at.
tempt of the Chicago Master Bakers
Association to have the ordinance de.
clared invalid.
The ordinance which was held in.
valid by Judge Windes in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, was held con.
stitutional by the Illinois Supreme
Court last December, and again June
49, when in addition to this finding, a
fine of $50 was imposed on Matthias
Schmidinger. president of the Chicago
Master Bakers Association, for vio-
lation of the law.
Steps toward putting the question
of the ordinance before the United
States Supreme Court were begun ut

case will come up for consideration
