HUCKSTERS OPPOSE
FORESTALLING LAW
Continued from First Page.l

sure that it would bring results pro-
vided 1t was properly enforced.
Some of them intimated that if the
police do not see that forestalling
and price fixing stops, they will or
ganize committees to watch buyers
in the markets, and when they find
evidences of violations of the law
they will prosecute the offenders be-
fore city aldermen.
1T is time that official action is
taken to end the overcharging caused
by forestallers buying up vegetables
and fruits and reselling them at ad-
vanced prices, thus forcing up prices
generally" one resident said: "Coun-
Gil should pass the ordinance at once
and then insist on it's enforcement
II it is merely brought before Coun-
Gil and approved finally but violat-
ors are allowed to continue their
work, then it might as we'll not be
considered.
Concern in Markets
In the markets there is much con-
Germ about what action Council will
take. Those who do wholesale busi-
ness with other regular dealers in
timated that they will ask for com
plete explanations of just how the
ordinance might affect them.
One man who sells weekly to an
other dealer about IL pounds of but
ter which the second one then dis
poses of to regular customers asked
whether the latter would be affected
by the clause which prohibits re-
selling. Other cases like this may
develop, it was predicted, but Gus
toners declare that they know prac-
tically all the dealers in the mar
kets who have such arrangements
in order to supply regular trade with
certain commodities which they or
dinarily do not have.
They said that the forestalling or
dinance will stop buyers from going
through the markets before the US
ual crowds of customers arrive, or
who meet farmers and truckers out
side the markets, and buy up pro-
duce, then resell it at greatly ad-
vanced prices.
A lengthy discussion of the ordi-
nance is expected at the Council
session next Tuesday, all of the
commissioners showing much inter-
jst in the measure when it was read
for the first time this week.
