KENNETH G. MEYER
June 28,1939
City Council
Municipal Mldg
Des Plaines,Illinois
Gentlemen:
T enclose a redraft of the Picketing Ordinance as I would
recommend it being passed when it is up for second reading.
While I can find no case of record involving an ordinance
passed by a municipality making picketing unlawful, it is my opinion
after a thorough analysis of the law on the subject, that the ordi-
nance as prepared and enclosed has a fair chance of standing the test
in the event its constitutionality is questioned.
With respect to the manner of enforcing the ordinance I
have written a letter to the Chief of Police giving my views as to the
manner in which it should be enforced.
Respectfully submitted
KENNETH G. MEYER
Attorney for the City of Des Plaines
