The board heard both sides of the
Nankin Garden Restaurant dispute
at yesterdays meeting. The propo-
sition came up originally at the
boards meeting a couple of weeks
ago when Henry Carless, representing
a committee of union labor men of
the city. moved for the revocation of
the license on the ground that fraud
and deception had been practised on
the commissioners in the granting of
the license.
Mr.. Carless at that time submitted
testimony showing that the excise IL
cense for the place had been grant
ed to Levi Weingarten, a local manu-
facturer, whom Carless claimed later
denied having any active interest in
the business outside of the fact that
he was the owner of the building in
which the restaurant is situated.
The records in the internal revenue
office, 1t was stated. showed that tho
license was in the name of Herbert
d. Minor. of Glen Ridge. and Ho
Chu. a Chinese. of New York. As
Mr.. Carless. in behalf of his clients,
cense.
Roy +. Anthony, appearing for Mr.
Weingarten yesterday declared that
Mr.. Weingarten, not being a practical
business man in this line, has asso-
ciated with him Mr. Minor and Ho
Chu. Mr.. Weingarten is directly in
terested in the place. as the articles
of partnership would show, Mr.. An
thony commended. and receives % per
cent. of the profits of the business.
There was no reason whatsoever,
Mr. Anthony said in conclusion, why
the license should be revoked, and
there had been no attempt to practise
fraud or deception on the commits
sioners
A. ]. CoZZolino, business agent of
the local walters union, declared
that in addition to the records in the
internal revenue Office the records in
the Court House also showed that
Mr. Weingarten's name was not list
ed in the partnership.
Mr.. CoZzolino declared that both
Mr.. Weingarten and Mr.. Minor had
in the presence of witnesses denied
having any active connection with the
business. Mr.. Minor. the speaker
he was merely the advance agent for
the place. This Mr.. Minor, who was
at the meeting, denied.
Commissioner Edwin Smith ques-
toned Cozzolino as to his interest in
the entire matter, to which the latter
replied that he was interested in see
ing fair conditions prevail for New
ark worl1ingmen in the place.
In answer to question from Cozzo-
limo, Commissioner Goehring admitted
that Mr. Weingarten had told him he
was going to conduct the place him
! self. The board finally adjourned
without taking any action in the mat
ter and requested Mr.. Anthony to
submit for their consideration the
articles of partnership.
