Fletcher REQUEST ORDINANCE PROHIBITING PICKETTING: The Clerk then read the following letter: DES PLAINES BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION June 22, 1939 Honorable Mayor and City Council Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen: The Des Plaines Business Men`s Association, 110 members strong, unanimously request the immediate passage by your body of an ordinance upholding the legality of the recent decision of Judge W.".McSurely in the. Illinois Supreme Court in which he held it illegal for non -employees to picket a store. We site the case of Vinci's Food Shop in which strangers have picketed this store wearing banners, making statements that are libelous to this business. We have considered obtaining an injunction in this specific case, but deem this unwise in that it would apply only to the one store. We urgently request your passage tonight of an ordinance restraining any outsider from picketing any place of business in the city limits of Des Plaines. Our merchants pay annually $8,000. into the treasury of this city in the form of business licenses. The legality of these license fees has been questioned from time to time by the merchants, but they have always thought it best to go along and pay their share to the city. in return the least they should expect is protection from outside interests which tend to make business operations in this community hazardous. immediate action is imperative and we hope the council will not let us down in this case. Very truly yours, DES PLAINES BUSINESS MEN'S ASS'N. 'array S.Smith, Secretary and followed by reading for first reading, a proposed ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE PICKETING OF PLACES OF BUSINESS BY PERSONS WHO ARE NOT PAST ENPLOYEESfFRESENT EMPLOYEES OR EXPECTANT EM- PLOYEES OF THE PLACE OF BUSI- NESS BEING PICKETED.
