history OF OGDEN GAS
T GAS LITIGATION
should this ordinance, fixing the price
of gas at CSC be held valid by our
courts. If I'm elected mayor I will
have this litigation pushed to final
decision.
Roger Sullivan is a large factor in
the Gas Co. Would Sweitzer, who
takes his orders from Roger Sullivan,
if elected mayor, be the disinterested
official the citizens of Chicago would
want in control of this litigation?"

BURLY MIKE HURLEY IS IN BAD
OVER BRIDE CHARGE
Mike Hurley, the burly policeman
who disguised Randolph street by the
manner in which he obeyed the will
of the unfair restaurant bosses by
dragging the girl pickets to jail, is in
bad.
The strikebreakers' friend now
stands accused before the civil serv-
ice commission Of having accepted a
bride from man whom he had ar
rested on a charge Of peddling dope.
On Feb. 26 Mike arrested Jas. But
Ter, 1857 S. State, three roomers and
the housekeeper, whom it is said he
dragged from a sick bed, and locked
them up on charge of distributing
dope. Next day they were all re-
leased by Judge-Prindividde.
Butler then says Hurley visited him
the next day and demanded $25 or he
promised to railroad him to prison.
Butler says he compromised on SIS.
The commission heard the case and
took it under advisement.
